Yes, in fact I _did_ have the latest e2fsprogs.git checkout [0] in 
place, but did not use it. OK, compiled that, e2fsck still present itself 
as "1.41.4" (which tree do I have to follow to get the 1.41.5 one?) but
was not able to fix the errors either. Again, I do not expect e2fsck to 
actuall fix it, because the damage I did to the fs was probably too 
severe. But when fsck exits with code 0, I'd "expect" it to be clean. So, 
I guess what I want is fsck to tell me to get my backups ready, as the fs 
is damaged too heavily...
