New warning: Unable to get device geometry for [filename]

I've just noticed that with the latest e2fsprogs, kernel 3.3.0 and
blkid (util-linux 2.20.1), I see this spurious warning when using
mke2fs on a file:

  $ truncate -s 4G test1.img
  $ mke2fs -t ext2 -q -F test1.img 
  warning: Unable to get device geometry for test1.img

Oddly this *doesn't* happen except on the very bleeding edge latest
versions of everything.  I've not (yet) worked out exactly what
component has to be upgraded to see it ...

Rich.
