No there aren't any messages on the console of in the log.

Yes, the system contains only one XFS partition the rest is plain old ext2.

Yes, any application writing to the partition makes the partition unusable.
Reading doesn't give any problems.

BP6 with dual 500Mhz Celeron / 192MB mem
HDD on HPT366 controller
Red Hat 7.0
kernel 2.4.6pre5-XFS (latest CVS)
no hdparm parameters of special mount options

N.b. this setup did work for a long time running Linux-XFS from SGI CVS. But
I didn't use
this system for a while only updating the kernel from CVS every one and a
while.

I'll check further in a moment. Currently the system is not accessible at
all.
As it doesn't have a keyboard or monitor so I have to connect these to see
what's really happening.
