I hope this is not too simple a solution for you, but simply trying to rebuild
the desktop could solve the problem. Another source of problems is the bundle
bit, which may get corrupted sometimes. This can be corrected by the little
shareware program Bund Aid or similar.
 
If this does not help, I suggest you try some of the recovery/diagnose programs
on the market. The one I have had the most benefits from is the Norton
Utilities program, which has done a remarkable job in correcting all kinds of
file structure problems I've run into.

Good Luck,
Lars

PS. If any of the two first suggestions fixed the problem and it does not
recur, I don't think that you will have to change your system or finder.
