I'm downloading and decompressing the e2image from the reporter right
now.  Have you tried mounting the e2image over the loop device with
and without the patch?  That should be able to demonstrate the
problem, and then prove that the patch fixes it.  I'll also dump out
the extent tree from the reporter and try to create a small test case
based on the inode in question.  (Inode #2621457, right?)
