Yesterday I pulled down Ted's ext4-stable tree and built it.  Today I used it
to actually reproduce this problem.  Now to try to track it down...

BTW, my suspicion is that the problem is either somewhere in the rest of the
kernel or maybe some post-2.6.26 change elsewhere is tickling a problem in ext4
itself.  I suspect this because we're very nearly up-to-date with ext4 itself
(modulo some patches that don't seem directly relevant to this issue) but the
rest of our kernel is still pretty much straight 2.6.26.  If it were strictly
an ext4 issue I would think we would be able to reproduce it with our kernel,
but we can't.

I'm going to work on tracking it down; I'm posting here just to make sure I'm
not duplicating someone else's effort.  Ted?
