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.
