I'd say it's a side effect of the use of truncate in place of unlink stuff,
and you could just make sure the relevant option is not enabled at compile
time and not have the problem.

in defines.h, change
#define USE_TRUNCATE_NOT_UNLINK 1
to
#define USE_TRUNCATE_NOT_UNLINK 0

re-build & re-install. You should stop running out of inodes.
