Yes.  The following patch seems to fix the problem.

I'm wondering if we could significantly simplify the move_extent.c
file by allocating two tmp_inodes and then using
ext4_ext_insert_extent() the same way fs/ext4/migrate.c handles
things.  But that's a potential cleanup for later....

    ext4: set the extent leaf checksum when processing EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
    
    The EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT which is used by the e4defrag program was not
    properly setting the checksum in the extent leaf block.  Fix this.
