Can you provide an exact set of commands to create the file system, populate the file system, that *anyone* (but especially, the developers that you are asking to looking at the bug) to replicate this failure? In particular, how is the file system is created (the exact mke2fs command) and the set of files that were used to populate the file system. Is it sensitive to the set of files?

Also, can you replicate it on some other storage device? If the exact sequence on a normal file doesn't reproduce, but it does on a hardware device, the first question that comes to mind is whether there is something wrong with the storage device --- since it really shouldn't make the difference whether you are using a file system image versus an external storage device.
