Thanks for pointing out that this can be tested using losetup.

So commit 67f2b54667e6 is 1.46.2, so I'm not sure that you recompiled
e2image. More importantly, e2image in upstream doesn't use Direct
I/O. When I tried using debugfs -D, it looks like Direct I/O on an
Advanced Format HDD isn't working correctly:
# debugfs -D /dev/loop0
debugfs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
debugfs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0 contains a ext4 file system

This isn't a regression since it was broken in upstream before, but it
would be good to get this fixed before e2fsprogs 1.46.3.
