Hmm, so the block number is: 7B0800000000 that indicats that
i_file_acl is 0, but the bits in i_file_acl_high are set.  E2fsck
doesn't currently detect and fix this case --- which is a bug in
e2fsck that I'll fix --- but it begs the question how the
i_file_acl_high could have gotten set in the first place.

Was this a freshly created ext4 filesystem, or one that was converted
from ext3?
