I don't see it:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=2mbfile bs=1M count=2
# mkfs.ext4 -F 2mbfile
# mount -o loop 2mbfile mnt/
# dd if=/dev/zero of=mnt/file
dd: writing to `mnt/file': No space left on device
1917+0 records in
1916+0 records out
980992 bytes (981 kB) copied, 0.0162723 s, 60.3 MB/s

is this more or less what you did?
