I had similar results with a twist: I'm currently using zope 2.6.1b1, so 
I run the fstest.py that comes with it. It says:

4482765 object serialno 0x0348f97b7e5d184c does not matchtransaction id 
0x034924f770139433

So I run 2.6.1b1 fsrecover.py and .... it wipes all the data from 
Data.fs (original Data.fs 20M, new Data.fs 4 *bytes*).

Retested with the corresponding utilities from 2.6.0 and now fsrecover 
seems to recover all the data (I say "seems" since I didn't test yet the 
resulting Data.fs).

Everything seems to be working fine with the "corrupted" Data.fs.

Should I worry?

Bye
