Uninit_bg was on but lazy inode table initialization was off.  I tried
turning lazy_itable_init on but e2fsck gets tons of errors, starting
with group descriptor checksum errors.  Unfortunately, I now get group
descriptor checksum errors even without lazy_itable_init and I 'm not
sure why. So I'm back to debugging mke2fs/e2fsck.
