It seems that you haven't been bitten by the save replace bug but by
another bug called misaligned head. The disk you are using was 
initialized on a drive ( could be the same one ) that was/is aligned
differently and thus things like 1435 blocks free occassionly appear.

I copied stuff on to a disk on a bad drive and now I sometimes trouble
loading anything. Other times I get junk or 1435 free blocks. So I would
reconsider your sending mail to a company about the save @ replace bug
until after you are fully sure about whats happen.
