This means Windows marked an NTFS block as used but nobody references it.

There was only one such report in the last 10 months, during beta testing,
but that was fixed, in very rare cases consistency check reported bogus
information.

What hardware do you use? Tablet PC? Something "unusual"?

Is it always at the same (1312305) place or changes? Does it always only 1
cluster mismatch?

Could you please send me this data?

   dd if=device of=cluster.out bs=4096 skip=first_failed count=1
e.g. in the above case
   dd if=/dev/discs/disc0/part1 of=clusters.out bs=4096 skip=1312305 count=1

But first do a 'strings clusters.out' that it doesn't have any private
data ;)

Defragmentation doesn't matter but chkdsk should fix. Note, if it's system
partition then chkdsk runs only at the next boot time.
