I'm running an OS X box and had terrible problems with my repositories
getting hosed on a regular basis (like every 3-4 days), all because of
BDB. My problems were sometimes similar to what you had; the
repositories passed recover and verify (including the BDB toolset using
the catastrophic settings), but the repo was still wedged. Someone on
the list suggested that I switch to the FSFS type repositories, that
they don't go south as easily (although they are slower, and may cause a
timeout under apache). I did that and reloaded from a recent dumpfile.
Maybe you can switch to an FSFS based repository and that will help??
Disclaimer: I've JUST started running the FSFS based repository; I don't
know if it is going to get hosed as well. If you don't hear any
complaints from me in the coming months, then it probably worked for
me...
