This sounds to me like the dir_index option was applied to a file system that didn't originally have it and an fsck -Df wasn't run at the time.
That may well be the most relevant information given here! I will *certainly* give it a try.
I based my speculation on some observations I had made on some of my own systems when I implemented dir_index. It so happens that, on that system at least, a "find /foo -print" returns the filenames in sorted order. Unfortunately, it isn't true on another system that I just checked. So now I will go and stand in the corner :(
