Repair will do this if you do not clean out lost+found between runs,
during each run it deletes the directory, making the contents unlinked
inodes again.

Ugh, ancient kernel.
I am not sure what happened to your filesystem, the repair output
could have been valid the first time, but we do not really know
that - the files in lost+found could be recent or the may be old.
Do they correspond with things from the directory which went
missing?
Nothing else rings a bell here.
