It should be fine.

Most recent e2fsprogs enforces that feature flags in backups match those
on the primary.

Problem is, the kernel sets things on the fly, but does not update the
backups.  This is ... annoying... because then it causes the full fsck.

I'm a little surprised that it did check though, because for now I have
F9 carrying a patch to actually *disable* this test, because otherwise
any F8->F9 upgrade would cause a full fsck just for this reason, which I
think is overly aggressive.

But, anyway, you should be fine now, and it shouldn't happen again.  :)
