This is actually a problem for cases where blocksize != pagesize.
We have a similar patch in our e2fsprogs, and I thought we sent
an equivalent patch to Ted previously...

-                   (pb.last_block / blkpg * blkpg != pb.last_block ||
+                   ((pb.last_block+1) / blkpg * blkpg != (pb.last_block+1) ||
