So what has been specifically fixed is this case:

# fsck.ext4 /dev/sde1
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
fsck.ext4: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block when using the backup blocks
fsck.ext4: going back to original superblock
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sde1
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

What you are reporting is something else. Can you tell me what the older version of e2fsck said that it fixed?
