If it had done such apparent harm as corrupted file system, you would not have been able to simply reboot and run any application.

There is a way for SD-cards to go corrupt when you are writing data to them. When that happens (and that is a rare occasion... ) the card will keep waiting forever for a command that doesn't come, because the SD-host wants the card to react to the initialization-commands, which will never come, because the card is waiting...

Pulling the battery on the N900 is like pulling the plug on your desktop computer while it's running.

Ive dropped mine a few times and the battery went flying notihing ever happened to the phone but it did kill my sd card once

half way thru an ota update when you got the errors?
its true generally pulling the plug on a pc is harmless, but doing it while installing an update might cause issues.
the op in the other thread makes it sound like the contacts on the battery/phone werent solid and it was coming disconnected when moved.
i also use 2 batteries and have had no issues when accidentally forgetting to power down before a swap.
