perhaps a -rescan flag would fix it?

It might, although Bitcoin Core is already smart enough to do an automatic rescan if it thinks the corruption is inside a transaction record.

Check your debug.log file (Help menu -> Debug window, then click the Open button), and search for the text "Error reading wallet database" which should have a more specific error message following it, and let us know what you find.
