This looks really odd.  While the patch adds a bit more computation,
that is very cheap shifting and masking.  So the only theory I have here
is that this somehow affects the inode data layout.  Can you re-run this
with the patch below applied on top of commit
9b64ca202f364a6bf8e19bdd20953bc2d776c67f ?
