Is it a bug? AFAIK on e2fsck without devfs tries to check at one time
several partitions *only* if they reside on different phisical devices
which is reasonable. But checking at one time several partitions on
one physical device is senseless. It only makes it more slow because
IMHO it is faster to sequantly read data from several partitions on one
device then do it at same time.
