The following patch will be in e2fsprogs 1.41.

Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: Dumb down filesystems for GNU Hurd
The Hurd only supports filesystems with a blocksize of 4096 bytes, and
128 byte inodes. It also doesn't understand the journal. So force
the defaults to be something which the Hurd can handle if "-o hurd" is
specified on the command line.
