It seems as if the flock does not have any effect on the corrupting of the transaction logs. Additionally, I would not be prepared to use dotlock as its performance is detrimental to the server's load at busy times.

No, ext3 would be fine. I just thought /srv might point to NFS or something. This is a bit weird though. There shouldn't be any bugs like this with local filesystems.
You could try if mmap_disable=no would change anything, or lock_method=flock or even lock_method=dotlock.

Well, I am actually using ext3, how do you suspect this might affect the reliability of the transaction log?
