Nokia-N810-WiMAX-43-7:/usr/share/Diablo-Turbo/backup# du zImage-backup 
904398	zImage-backup
any ideas that can explain it that do not involve JFFS2 corruption?

Edit: Ah, found it, bug in the perl snippet in the post-install script - the truncate call unpacks the already-unpacked value and gets a bogus result. The resulting file is sparse, and du reports its size correctly but only until the next reboot.
Aw! Sh*t!
Now everybody whose first DT kernel is kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3 has a corrupt zImage backup.
Well, they don't have any reason to uninstall the DT kernel, do they?
And if they do, just reflashing a good zImage after uninstalling will fix the problem.
