Oops, sorry.  I made a stupid mistake in my mke2fs patch.  This should
fix things so that your script works correctly.

    mke2fs: make sure bg 0's unused inode count field is zero'ed for mke2fs -S
    
    There was a bug/typo in commit ba9e0afc5 which caused the first block
    group (bg #0) to not have its unused inode count field to get set to
    zero in the case of mke2fs -S.  This caused inodes in the first block
    group to not be recoverable via mke2fs -S.  Oops.
