Presumably have to flag files which are 1067 bytes with an additional check
before returning their file type in readdir

Any update on this? Bumped into this again, I thought this would have been
fixed since long.

good catch - this one may have slipped through (we also ought to add a small
xfstest or equivalent for this so it doesn't cause problems in the future or
show up with Samba reparse points in the future etc.).

Will take a look
