It turns out there's one more thing you need to do before running resize2fs (assuming you did use DDR or dd to do the copying of the whole minidisk/device). The partition table will still say it is the old size. You'll need to use fdasd to re-create the VTOC and delete all partitions (option r), create a new partition spanning the whole space, then write the new partition table out to disk. After that, resize2fs should work (after the mandatory e2fsck -f command).
Simply trying to delete the old partition and then add a new one didn't work for me (but I'm running an older copy of s390-tools on the system where I tested this).

For example, add a minidisk to a guest, take the guest down and IPL CMS, DDR the old to the new, bring back up the guest.
