Hm, on the image you provided to me for analysis, it was indeed somewhat corrupted; I got about 400 lines of output from e2fsck. However - did you take the image while it was mounted, or did you unmount it first? Anyway, inode 274258 wasn't in the fsck output. However, I can reproduce the error you got: [429903.549764] EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_ext_search_left:1252: inode #274258: comm flush-7:0: ix (3666) != EXT_FIRST_INDEX (0) (depth 0)! so I'll see what's going on here.
