Ah, so the right fix then is to add to make the cleanup code like this:

		ext4_mark_inode_dirty(handle, dir);
		ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(handle, dir, frame->bh);
+	        ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(handle, dir, bh2);
+		if (bh)
+			ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(handle, dir, bh);
		dx_release(frames);
		return retval;

Agreed?
