I was able to reproduce this and bisect it to the following commit:

commit 1f2d779fed21 ("ext4: optimize group search for inode allocation")

The fact that DAX was enabled in this failure was a red herring - it fails
without DAX as well.  The key is just that we're mounting an ext2 formatted
filesystem using the ext4 module, I think.
