The same here.  I have had no problems with either 2.4.0 or 2.4.1,
and I don't even have the Axboe's patch applied.  Which makes me
wonder where is the problem.

I am also using encryption (patch-int-2.4.0.3, idea cipher) and
util-linux-2.10o.  The container file is not as big, only 256MB
with 65MB of data, and the largest file is ~30MB.  I had to
convert from the blowfish and used dump|restore.  There were no
problems whatsoever.
