I tracked the problem down to the specific patch a50527b1.

Since now I know the problem is not specific to ext[34], I'm
updating the ticket to be the VFS layer.  (HOWEVER, Bugzilla
won't let me change the assignee to fs_vfs@...nel-bugs.osdl.org.
Can someone do that for me?)

With the patch in place (even up to and including 3.9-rc4), the
attached test (mlt-auto.c) fails.

If I git revert a50527b1 out of 3.9-rc4, the test passes.
