Do you see the same problem if you resize a physical disk, not
just with loopback? Sounds like it...

In theory it should be reproducible w/ lvm too, then, I think,
unless there's some issue specific to your block device similar to
what's happening on the loop device.

Always worth communicating a testcase in the first email, if you
have one, so we don't have to guess.  ;)
