You can try to mount the volume read-only, and recover what you are able
to.  I don't have time to look at the fsck code right away, but I think
fsck can be made to be a little bit more robust, instead of just giving
up when it can't read that data.  I can look at it more closely on
Monday.

You should be able to copy the partition to any block device the same
size or bigger.  If you've lost the data there, I'm not sure if fsck
will behave any better reading invalid data rather than getting an i/o
error.
