Wow,that's quite a bug. I imagine it affects programs other than 'ls'. Sounds like it needs to be fixed in the file system or kernel, as it's not realistic to install workarounds in every application that uses readdir.
Is the bug reproducible on a more-modern Linux kernel? 2.6.32 is projected for end-of-life around now, according to <https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html>. If the bug doesn't appear in 3.2 or newer, I wouldn't worry about it.
I found a machine with an old kernel (RHEL 6.6 with kernel 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64) and could not reproduce the bug with a Network Appliance NFS server. So perhaps the bug is Isilon-specific rather than kernel-specific. If so, Isilon should fix it.
