To rule out kernel involvement, I took the same 'root-image' and ran this on utopic:

# these downloaded trusty versions [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs]
$ sudo dpkg -i e2fslibs_1.42.9-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i e2fsprogs_1.42.9-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb

$ resize2fs -P /tmp/root-image
resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 274500

And then quickly checking that 'apt-get install e2fsprogs' installs utopic version 1.42.10 and:
$ resize2fs -P /tmp/root-image
resize2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 358400
