well, this time I went for many many more runs on each bisect point and came up
with:

# good: [ab86e5765d41a5eb4239a1c04d613db87bea5ed8] Merge

# bad: [d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7] ext4: Remove journal_checksum
mount option and enable it by default
# Failed in 9 runs
git bisect bad d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7

So it's looking like a problem with journal checksums.  I backed that patch out
and am running the testcase overnight to convince myself that it survives
without it.  The patch itself seems fine - it just changes the default; I'm
looking at the journal checksum code to see if I can see any problem.
