I was able to reproduce this with:

SCRATCH=/dev/sdc1
mke2fs -t ext4 -m 0 $SCRATCH
mount $SCRATCH /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.img bs=256M count=640
losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/test.img
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/loop0

I tested Ted's patches on top of 3.2.37 (one of them needed a context
change as we already got commit
dee1f973ca341c266229faa5a1a5bb268bed3531) and they seem to fix the
problem: I see no errors from mke2fs, or the kernel, or subsequent
'fsck.ext4 -f' of the inner and outer filesystems.

I have therefore committed these for the next Debian release and will
also queue them up for 3.2.y.

Ben.
