Yes, that's a fine solution.  What I'll probably do is disable the
check if s_inodes_count is greater than s_mkfs_time minus some fudge
value, or if the broken system clock boolean is set.

Nope, that would be the only consequence --- if you don't the system
administrator's anxiety that was induced by the false positive!

Thanks for pointing out this problem.  I'll make sure it gets fixed in
the next maintenance release of e2fsprogs.
