Reformatting empty but corruptly marked oracle blocks

Most of you may have already been tackling block corruption in oracle by simply employing the appropriate rman features. What actually appeared as the top most error on the monitoring log this morning was the following rman ERROR MESSAGE STACK, that looked as usual business at first:

channel ORA_DISK_2: backup set complete, elapsed time: 02:57:02
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 01/01/2012 05:17:04

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_2 channel at 01/01/2012 02:20:02
ORA-19566: exceeded limit of 0 corrupt blocks for file H:\ORACLE\SAN_3\ORADATA\WAZ\TEXT\TEXT_DATIDX_05.DBF

Executing dbv against it proved the assumption of rman.

However, trying a block recovery by rman eventually delivered no results (after running for hours unpacking any available backup set) because the blocks in question were empty!
Knowing that oracle always reformats empty (here previously deleted) blocks before writing to it, a dummy table was created to (re)write any available block of the tablespace until a tablespace extension error occurs (do review the dedicated tablespace settings in advance):

create table reformat_me tablespace TEXT_DATIDX as select * from all_objects;

Repeat until the tablespace extension error:

insert into reformat_me select * from reformat_me;
commit;

...

ORA-1653: unable to extend table reformat_me by 128 in tablespace TEXT_DATIDX
