Interesting, though just to note... is it possible this is related to
records with free inodes? If this is a prepopulated fs for the purpose
of this test, it's conceivable that there's only a small set of such
records in the fs. The other records in your snippets here are fully
allocated, but of course this is only a small snippet of a larger set of
data.

It also might be interesting to know whether this repeats without the
last patch in the series. IIRC that one seemed to have the most
potential impact on the overall algorithm (by changing loop iteration
logic, etc.). Just a thought.
