Ok, so the first top-level record says it covers logical 0->3665, but the last extent actually goes from 3665->4092. Then the next top level extent says it covers 3666->9217, but that overlaps w/ the last real extent just prior, and the first allocated extent under it actually starts at 4093. so, a) how'd it get into this state, and b) why doesn't fsck care ...
