Default "USB Storage damaged" - anyone else had this problem?

After a phone reboot I was notified that my "USB storage" was damaged and the phone was indeed unable to see anything on my "external" 16 GB SD.
It suggested a format, which I tried twice but nothing happened aside from the busy indicator spinning for a second or two. The SD card still couldn't be read.

I took out the battery and reinserted the SD card and when I started up the phone again the card was working and it appears all my data - music, videos, images - was still there, although some of the apps I've used after the reboot seem to have gone through at least a partial reset, probably because they were using data on the SD card.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Initially I obviously thought the card was a goner and I would need to buy a new one, but apparently it was just some kind of glitch in the system. Though certainly one I would prefer to avoid seeing again.
