Me neither but now I checked the 0.3.0.5 Changelog:
0.3.0.5
2004-18-04 Yury Umanets <address@hidden>
* changes in indentation in all the sources.
* cleanups and small fixes.
* added reiserfs_tree_check() which can be used for checking a
partition before resizing.
* changes in confiure.in
0.3.0.4
2003-01-10 Yury Umanets <address@hidden>
....
So I was wrong, there weren't any fixes, just an optional(?) tree check
before resizing.

Not this one, AFAIR it was a Gentoo user. But the above reports look
indeed serious, removing the package was righful.

If I see correctly, it wasn't reported upstream.

I also think it's too late.
BTW, parted. This "minor" issue is a dup of the closed, serious CHS issue
with 2.6 kernels: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=250528
