I think your idea of a bug in e2fsck's handling of multiply claimed blocks is the only explanation: Maybe during a corruption long ago a number of multiply claimed blocks existed and where reduced with each reboot. Is this possible? How can this be fixed?

It could be an e2fsck bug, or it could be a hardware issue. In my experience, every time
I've tried digging into problems with e2fsck -fy not fixing all problems in a single
pass, it's been a hardware problem. That being said, multiply claimed blocks is
something that isn't exercised that much, so it's *possible* that it is an e2fsck bug.
I really would need a reproducible test case before I could do anything though.
