The mke2fs in question was fixed in e2fsprogs 1.37, over five years
ago.  Mizuma-san, why are you using such an __ancient__ mke2fs?  It
would seem that instead of fixing the kernel, the better thing to do
is to fix your version of e2fsprogs.  There have been enough other bug
fixes to e2fsck that using such an ancient version of e2fsck, if you
are willing to update the kernel, seems to not make a whole lot of
sense.

I certainly don't see the point of fixing making any changes in ext4
to accomodate such a change, since e2fsprogs which is that old won't
support ext4 file system features anyway.
