What specific version of e2fsprogs and (more importantly) the kernel
are you using?  It should Just Work, although there were some
compatibility bugs that were fixed sometime around 2.6.26 or 2.6.27 if
memory serves correctly (hmm... although only for ext4 if memory
serves correctly; I should double check and see if the bug was fixed
for ext3.)  It's not something which gets a lot of testing though, so
it's possible it got broken and no one noticed.
