It's going to be interesting to see if the issue suddenly disappears and stops being reported once the new version of Maemo Mapper is released with the new database file format.

(I love Maemo Mapper and i'm not trying to blame it for damage... just seems like a common thread.)
I didn't install maemo mapper on my N800 and didn't copy small files to my SDHC cards... But one "big" 700MB iso corrupted three of mine 8GB cards!
I don't think that this problem is related to writing small files. Perhaps maemo mapper is one of these applications that use the SD/SDHC cards more often than other applications! think about it...

Also I couldn't notice a difference between writing files from wlan or usb to SD/SDHC card... in both cases my external slot makes more problems than the internal one. I hope that nokia will find the origin of this problems soon...
