Easier way to reproduce and log:
~/compile/nilfs$ qemu-img create 1.img 500M
Formatting '1.img', fmt=raw size=524288000
~/compile/nilfs$ mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 1.img
mkfs.nilfs2 (nilfs-utils 2.1.0)
Start writing file system initial data to the device
       Blocksize:1024  Device:1.img  Device Size:524288000
File system initialization succeeded !!
~/compile/nilfs$ sudo mount 1.img /mnt/1/ -o loop
mount.nilfs2: cannot modify /etc/mtab.
Please remount the partition with -f option after making /etc/mtab writable.

(it reads all-zeros from file as checkpoint descriptor)
