I just tried again with 3.5-rc5, and I was able to reproduce your failure by using "check 68 68 68 68 68" (it failed after the 2nd time it ran the fsstress test. What's interesting is that there have been no changes in fs/ext4 or fs/jbd2 since 3.5-rc2. So this may have been caused by a writeback related change; I'm starting a bisect now. - Ted
