This is fixed already in the "next" branch of e2fsprogs

http://git.kernel.org/?p=fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git;a=commit;h=1afb468b9a80031b39eab37272709f45727fb221

This commit was checked in well over a month ago.  If you're not using the latest next branch of e2fsprogs, you really should....   this wasn't the only bigalloc-related mke2fs bug that was fixed, and e2fsck should now be working as well with bigalloc.
