Well, I've done some more digging on this problem and, though I have found out some things, I am still no closer to solving the problem than before.
1) The huge amount of lines in /var/log/messages seems to be unrelated to why I'm getting an fsck every time I boot. There are hundreds of lines in there that look like this one --

This is firewall logging. Why it is in /var/log/messages is a mystery, because (at least in 9.3) the syslog-ng config file is written to write all firewall log entries to a separate file. Possibly you are still using the old syslog, which is pretty brain dead and dumps everything from the kernel into /var/log/messages. If so, I suggest you dump it and install syslog-ng instead.
Thanks for letting me know what those messages were about. I checked, and syslog-ng is installed. For some reason my machine still wants to dump all of that into syslog. Between that and the machine doing an fsck every time I boot I think this machine has completely lost its mind.
