I've never had HFS+ render a file "unreadable," that I can recall.
Hardware disk errors, yes, HFS+, no.  Case-insentivity can be a problem of
course, but 10.3 introduced case-sensitivity as an option (for a price ...
some disk utils would not work with such volumes, like DiskWarrior).

I've had other HFS+ problems, specifically directory corruption and other
such things that don't render a file unreadable so much as lost.
