Sure I can do that, will do it offline.

FWIW, the commit you mentioned changes e2fsck_check_ext3_journal, and
we only get there from main() like this:

        if ((ctx->mount_flags & EXT2_MF_MOUNTED) &&
            !(sb->s_feature_incompat & EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER))
                goto skip_journal;

        retval = e2fsck_check_ext3_journal(ctx);

In my case I am mounted ro and recovery is done, so
EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER is not, set, and so we skip over it with
the goto.

or else from here:

        if (sb->s_feature_incompat & EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER) {
                if (ctx->options & E2F_OPT_READONLY) {
			...
                } else {
			...
                        retval = e2fsck_run_ext3_journal(ctx);

And again, I've already done recovery and am mounted RO so we won't go that way.

If make the first test above a little later:
