Is it possible that cylinder 3 was marked as defective

No, the sector addressing starts from 0 for the first sector in all
cases. The addresses, in the example, for cylinder 3 are simply
missing entirely--and the files that reside on that cylinder do not
match what the directory says they are.
It seems to be either a hardware or software glitch.
