This is a bug in tune2fs/e2label; it's fixed in the maint branch of
e2fsprogs, and I hope to get a release out soon. The relevant commit
is:
commit 9d4a4dc2870c46c74f815ec2bebe10b4701accf2

tune2fs: Update the block group checksums when changing the UUID
Since the block group checksums depend on the UUID, we need to update
the block group checksums when setting the UUID. We only do so if all
of the checksums are correct, however.

You can work around it by using the command "e2fsck -fy" right after
the e2label -U, but that's admittedly quite annoying. :-/
