This is a known bug.  The the latest mainline version of Linux (I
think 2.6.33-rc2-git4 includes the necessary patch) will no longer
BUG.  There are two more patches which I'm about to push to Linus that
are necessary to fix up a typo and some potential undesirable side
effects of the initial fix of the problem.  If you want to get all of
the fixes, pull in the changes from:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git for_linus
