Oh.  So you're doing it with an online/mounted filesystem?

The on-disk filesystem isn't necessarily consistent when mounted,
some of that consistency lives in the log.

You're likely just seeing that inconsitency because you're reading
it while it's mounted; possibly even while it's being modified.
