I managed to figure out what the problem was and undo the corruption without data loss, but it was quite a deep dive...
- segfaultbuserr 6y agontfsresize also destroyed my partition back then. When I searched it, I found the responsible bug in the bugtracker, closed several months ago, but it never made to the stable Ubuntu release. Fortunately, a manual fix guide was available. I stopped trusting Ubuntu and switched to SystemRescueCD (which is Gentoo based with newer packages) after that incident...

This was fixed within a few months, but not before it trashed several Windows installations (using whole-disk-encryption so they were not recoverable).
