I don know the answer for that.

As far as I know it is normal, just to check the log, and make sure
everything went fine with unmount. Thus, once it is done with the check,
the file system should be without errors. Otherwise a journaled file
system does not make sense.

Because the filesystem will be in good shape, the error-statement does
not make sense. It is just a ext2 issue. (when fsck tells, the file
system is corrupt it just mounts it read only.

Added my rambling :-)
