I hope so. I think i've fixed things according to Dave's commit.

Correct. d100ee is the first bad commit which trigger BUGON()
But issue was introduced earlier  es_cache was not updated
after extents was swapped between inodes.
I'll prepare patch soon.
Actually I think that the regression in 269'th you have found recently
caused by similar issue and commit which you foud by bisecting ( the one
which allow migration between indirect<->extent based inodes)
simply helps to spot real issue in es_caching code.

BUT my main idea is that we need robust self-testing infrastructure
similar one that we have at the time extents was introduced to ext4.
