I used the latest (git version I believe, not just 1.15) of f2fs-tools to shrink and re-expand the partition which seems to have fixed it up. If I didn't change the size then resize wouldn't do anything, while fsck did not find or correct any problems. I would have though fsck would be able to fix this, at least with the latest version after this bug was first pointed out and fixed in the resizing. Anyway, happy to have the partition working again with no ill effects I can see.
