Definitely a FUSE/encfs related problem. I tested the edgy packages
extensively and they work fine.
Though, if I setup a encfs encrypted home, I get the exact same
symptoms. as zer0halo.

It seems that the main trackerd thread segfaults when run on a encfs
fs, causing the db corruption.

Are you sure about that? Compiling tracker from source should give you
the same error.
Have you uninstalled the tracker debs before installing from source
(./configure && make && make install)? Could you please post your
configure parameters.
