Ah! That's it. I'm not sure why you get so short unwritten extent but it's
certainly possible. I can now reproduce the issue with:

xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 10k" -c "pwrite 9k 512" -c "seek -d 0" /mnt/file
wrote 512/512 bytes at offset 9216
512.000000 bytes, 1 ops; 0.0000 sec (6.975 MiB/sec and 14285.7143 ops/sec)
Whence	Result
DATA	EOF

on 1k blocksize filesystem. And the problem is indeed that in this case I
have screwed up the condition due to rounding. I'll fix the second patch in
both series for ext4 & xfs. Thanks for debugging this!
