Agreed, though in some cases it is considerably easier to produce the
corruption via binary editing than debugfs commands unless there are
now facilities to copy blocks/bytes around within the filesystem?

Also, items such as these presuppose that the directory has specific
blocks allocated to it, which need the test case to be constructed in
multiple passes (to extract these numbers) and could break at some time 
in the future.
