(Get the code!)
I've committed a complete fix to the master branch of the e2fsprogs git tree.
One of the reasons why I don't want to commit a partial fix is because the potential for corruption of production file systems by programs such as fuse2fs was extremely high. Users of mke2fs -d are generally embedded developers. Users of fuse2fs are more likely to be civilians.
We've had this bug for a long time, and no one has complained. Taking some time to have a fix that doesn't corrupt file systems is far more important to me as the maintainer. For any distribution, but especially for Ubuntu, civilian users >>> embedded developers.
