It's strange though, but I don't see any other possible explaination.
Because the filesystem size was so small to begin with (256 MB if I remember correctly), inodes only represent 1K of data. Resizing the filesystem then creates more 1K blocks, but you run into the maximum number of inodes that the filesystem can create. Try to determine the maximum size you can resize to, or create the new large filesystem and move everything from the old to the new.
