Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. It works if I disable the
"extents" mount option. The problem is that when something is declared
"stable" it should  be changed only for bug fixes, not generally and it
should be backwards compatible with minor versions at least. Especially
when talking about highly important things such as FS. Tonight I'm going
to test the latest vanilla and if it works, then I believe it's Gentoo's
fault which deserves a report in b.g.o.

It would be nice if someone could confirm this issue.
