Jeremy, if you're willing, could you upgrade to the 2.6.29 kernel that's
in F10 updates-testing? That way the ext4 code is a bit more of a
recent, common codebase. Also, if this is a test fs, re-mkfs'ing from
scratch might not be a bad way to go.
Depending on how hard it is to reproduce, it may also be interesting to
try a filesystem just shy of 8TB (2^31) blocks in case there is some
32-bit wrap-around there, since you're at 8.2T....
