Just tested this, and the fio backend does dump the files if 
verify_dump=1 is set:

[...]
<lenny> write3: (g=0): rw=randread, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, 
iodepth=1
<lenny> Starting 1 process
<lenny> crc16: verify failed at file file offset 2023424, length 4096
<lenny>        Expected CRC: 5b54
<lenny>        Received CRC: c1aa
<lenny>        received data dumped as file.2023424.received
<lenny>        expected data dumped as file.2023424.expected
