Does this issue reproducible or not on last version of f2fs utilities?
There are some probability that it can be an issue of previous version.

As I can understand, if Linux kernel has support of concrete file system
then it should be mounted as with file system type definition as without
it. From my point of understanding, the linux-utils has some
universality and support of all possible file system than kernel can
support. Or I misunderstand something? I think that it can be an issue
on the kernel side. It needs to analyze system log in the case of issue
reproducibility, I think.

With the best regards,
