Applied.  

BTW, your reproduction case also results in a file system which isn't
noticed as being broken by e2fsck.  Eric's patch "e2fsck: Fix
incorrect interior node logical start values" fixes e2fsck so it
handles this.  Unfortunately applying his patch seems to uncover a bug
in e2fsck when clearing a bad extent node (f_extent_bad_node) which we
need to fix so the regression test suite is passing.
