This looks to be an off-by-one bug with e2fsck in the function
check_blocks(), and there isn't any actual filesystem corruption
(e2fsck causes the corruption).
Please see the attached patch, which fixes the problem for me.

Subject: e2fsck: Fix off-by-one error in check_blocks()
e2fsck allows extra blocks to be allocated to an inode up to the next
multiple of page size iff the block size is not equal to page size. An
off-by-one error in checking for this causes e2fsck to wrongly detect
a bad i_size for such inodes and results in incorrectly adjusting the
i_size to include those blocks.
