Could it be you have stale stuff in your fakeroot file?  Fakeroot
maintains a persistant file which contains a list of inodes that
it is busy hacking.  If you later rebuild this and that, the list
of inodes in the fakeroot file can become out of sync with
reality, and can cause all sorts of the wierdness you describe...
