dm-era tracks writes in target-relative blocks, but the mapping path can ignore the target offset when translating bios. Tables with a non-zero start sector can therefore map and account I/O against the wrong origin sectors.
The result is inconsistent metadata for devices that are not mapped at sector zero. Apply the target offset consistently when mapping and tracking writes.
