I'm inclined to agree with you Ben, this does seem like a bug in the userspace tools. Especially since it doesn't appear that anything changes.

Vincent, can you clarify that to replicate, there must be a fsck on the next reboot? If you don't force a fsck, does the filesystem remount alright? Does the problem occur if you force a fsck after that reboot?

I'll see if I can ask some knowledgable EXT people to shed a bit of light on this for us, because I'm quite stumped.
