With kernel-4.10.2 I cannot reproduce the bug anymore.

The following commit looks like it might be the one fixing the issue:

    ext4: do not polute the extents cache while shifting extents

    commit 03e916fa8b5577d85471452a3d0c5738aa658dae upstream.

    Inside ext4_ext_shift_extents() function ext4_find_extent() is called
    without EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag, which should prevent cache population.

    This leads to oudated offsets in the extents tree and wrong blocks
    afterwards.

    Patch fixes the problem providing EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag for each
    ext4_find_extents() call inside ext4_ext_shift_extents function.
