Yeah, I really should get a new release of e2fsprogs out.  It's fixed
in the maint branch.

    libext2fs: Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap()
    
    Commit 0dc291611 introduced a regression when unmapping the first
    block in an extent.  This caused e2fsck -fD to corrupt large
    directories if the directory has to shrink by more than one block.
    The problem was set_bmap should only go to a next leaf when setting a
    first block in an extent, and not when it is unmapping the first block
    in an extent.
