So you say that "git fsck --full" gives only dangling commits on the server, and you still get messages like "fatal: object XXXXX is corrupted" on the client when you try to clone with gerrit? Did you try to clone using git? Please try it and give us the exact command and result that you get.
By the way could you tell us which version of git and gerrit you are using? When I try "git grep corrupted" on the git and gerrit sources I don't find anything relevant.
