The Kindle firmware **should** detect such file system errors during a complete reboot (cold start) and rebuild the file system.
Both the exported FAT partition and the ext3 /var/local partition.

But - sometimes that does not happen and requires user intervention (like you did).
(Plus: It is very rare for a Kindle to be **completely** rebooted.)
