In the files I judged to be trashed, I found something more like

Have you tried checking for filesystem corruption? That could have
these kinds of symptoms.
You mean, like fsck? And/or Disk Utilities? Yes. Typically nothing
reported. Of course, since this follows a system crash, the mount-
points would have been fsck'ed during the reboot that eventually
allowed me to log in and notice things were horked; the waters could
be considerably roiled by the time I'm able to try this.
When I see this, I often see more than one file in this icky state,
and they're generally files that would likely have been in use by
programs I remember having open at the time of the crash. That fits
either my "leftover FileVault encryption" or your "filesystem
corruption" theories, though, so it's not too much help.
Some calibration on words like "typically" and "often," as used in
this discussion: I've seen this sort of thing happen ... oh, maybe a
dozen times, spread out since maybe Panther. That would be when I
first started using FileVault. In between times, there have been
extended periods when my working circumstances did not require me to
use FileVault, and I've also run without it at these times. I have
at least once discovered the sort of corruption discussed here at a
time when I was not using FileVault, but I was able to convince
myself it could be left-over damage from a FileVault-enabled crash
not so long ago. But I could be talking myself into that, of course.
And yes, I have RadarWebbed this multiply.
And I guess we've OT'ed our way far from Xcode, so perhaps we might
as well drop it ;-)
