Some images on ja.wikipedia seem to be lost too. Is it due to the same accident?

That's an... interesting failure mode. That makes three different types of breakage I've seen so far: missing files, empty files and now directory entries where there should be files. Are these really all from the same bug?
Yes. The bug itself deleted the file and put a directory entry in its place. I wrote a shell script to remove the directory entry and then do a wget to fetch the file from the squid cache. Wget created a zero-length file for all the cache misses. Some of those files were subsequently deleted.
