Helped wanted with tricky potential F41 blocker

Hey folks! I'm sending up a flare for help with a potential F41 blocker
that looks pretty tricky. It is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2318710 .

The problem is fairly easy to reproduce. Install Fedora 40 or 41 Beta
with an ext4 root partition, take a snapshot (for convenience in
testing), then do an offline upgrade to current F41 (or offline update
any one of a specific list of packages that triggers the issue, which
Kamil Paral worked out - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2318710#c14 ). On the boot
after the offline upgrade runs, you'll drop to emergency mode, with the
system complaining about 'ext4 bad orphan inode' issues. But if you
just reboot from this state, the system will then boot up fine.

This only seems to happen on ext4, it's not affecting installs to xfs
or btrfs. But we suspect there are still quite a few people out there
with their root partition on ext4, so we're worried this might have to
block the release.

It's a pretty odd bug. We can't see anything much in common between the
packages that trigger it - no files in weird places, no odd scripts.
The failure case itself is pretty weird. Fabio had a good theory that
it might be caused by the rpm-plugin-ima package, but sadly testing I
did today indicates that is not the case.

If anyone has any bright ideas what might be going on here, please do
reply or add them to the bug! Thanks.
