"attempt to access beyond end of device" when reshaping raid10 from near=2 to offset=2

Greets,

Whilst experimenting with array reshaping, I've found that if I create a 
near=2 raid10 like so:

   for i in 0 1 2 3 ; do
     truncate --size=1G disk$i
     losetup /dev/loop$i disk$i
   done
   mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=4 --layout=n2 \
     --data-offset=10M /dev/loop{0,1,2,3}
   mdadm --wait /dev/md0  # wait for resync

and then try to reshape it to offset=2:

   mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --layout=o2

the reshape repeatedly fails and restarts with something like this in 
dmesg (repetitive messages snipped):

and so on until the array is stopped.

This log came from a Debian stretch VM (mdadm v3.4 and kernel 4.9.246 as 
patched and built by Debian), but I see the same behavior in Debian 
buster (mdadm v4.1) with stock and backport kernels (4.19.160 and 
5.9.15, respectively).

I notice that if I stop, re-assemble, and add back the "failed" devices, 
eg.:

   mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/loop{0,1,2,3}
   mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/loop0
   mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/loop2

then it recovers and reshapes without complaint.

Have I encountered a bug?
