OK, that's this BUG which is triggering:

	if (mdb_free) {
		/* Account for allocated meta_blocks */
		mdb_claim = EXT4_I(inode)->i_allocated_meta_blocks;
		BUG_ON(mdb_free < mdb_claim);  <------- BUG triggered
		mdb_free -= mdb_claim;

Can you replicate this?  If so, I'd like to ask you to replicate with
the following debugging patch applied:

--- fs/ext4/inode.c	2009-12-24 17:55:03.736366001 -0500
+++ fs/ext4/inode.c.new	2009-12-24 18:02:58.556366024 -0500
@@ -1060,6 +1060,10 @@
 	if (mdb_free) {
 		/* Account for allocated meta_blocks */
 		mdb_claim = EXT4_I(inode)->i_allocated_meta_blocks;
+		if (mdb_free < mdb_claim)
+			ext4_msg(inode->i_sb, KERN_ERR, "inode #%lu: "
+				 "mdb_free (%d) < mdb_claim (%d) BUG\n",
+				 inode->i_ino, mdb_free, mdb_claim);
 		BUG_ON(mdb_free < mdb_claim);
 		mdb_free -= mdb_claim;

Then once you get the inode number (suppose it's 12345), please send
the output of the following debugfs commands:

debugfs: stat <12345>
debugfs: ncheck 12345

Thanks!!
