(Get the code!)
I'm now seeing the same thing on a Gentoo system running the vanilla 3.3.0 kernel and ext4. I tried rebooting into 3.2.11, and still see the same problem. I've been running this setup for quite a while, so somewhere along the line, something broke recently.
As soon as I start Firefox 11, my free space constantly decreases until it hits 0, makeing eCryptfs unusable. Logging out and killing all my user's processes doesn't help, and looking for deleted files that were still open with "lsof +L1" showed nothing. As soon as I unmounted my encrypted home directory, though, the amount free space returned to normal.
I was also able to reproduce this on an eCryptfs on ZFS filesystem, so it's not restricted to ext4.
