Russel's trace indicates that the unlink actually has completed and has become a negative dentry since the file is labelled '(deleted)'. That means that the dentry count must have been zero, so that dentry_iput() was called.
I don't see how dentry_iput() can be called on an open file. In principle the dentry count should always be >= 1, so unless there is some place where we're calling d_delete() without get()ing the dentry first, there should be no path for early inode loss.
