This is a e2fsprogs bugs, not a kernel bug, but it's fine to discuss
it here.

Can you send me the output of "dumpe2fs /dev/sdb2", "debugfs -R 'stat
<8>' /dev/sdb2", and "debugfs -R logdump /dev/sdb2"?

Also could you run:

        debugfs -R 'dump_inode <8> /tmp/journal.dat' /dev/sdb2

and then send me a copy of /tmp/journal.dat?

I'm guessing the journal must be corrupted in some interesting way,
since what should have happened if it was just a case of the journal
data being present but the superblock flags not being set sould have
been:

e2fsck 1.43.5 (04-Aug-2017)
/tmp/foo.img: recovering journal
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong (26854, counted=24490).
Fix? yes

Free inodes count wrong (8181, counted=7281).
Fix? yes

/tmp/foo.img: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/tmp/foo.img: 911/8192 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 8278/32768 blocks

Cheers,

                                                - Ted
