That error means that Windows XP is not shutting down properly.

The consistency check is like scandisk in win 95/98.

When ever windows thinks the computer has not shutdown properly, scan disk runs when the computer boots backup.

That is what is happening to you.

Talked with user some more and they inform
me that it seems to happen when the
computer(laptop) wakes up from hibernation

This is a known issue. It should be fixed in SP1 due out in August. You can try windows update, but would not get your hopes up.
