Get a newer version of e2fsck (I think 1.32 is available). The 1.30-WIP version had a bug in it when regenerating htree indexes. Also, I'd suggest disabling htree entirely for now, since (a) your kernel doesn't support it yet, and (b) there are still some bugs in kernels that _do_ support it. Sadly, htree is enabled by default with newer e2fsprogs (even 1.32 I think) so it is kind of a pain.
