Nope. I can reproduce it. handle_mtdblock_request is calling
end_request() when req->bh->b_end_io is NULL, even though it wasn't
like that at the beginning of handle_mtdblock_request.

Looks like the following comment is incorrect:
 * The head of our request queue is considered active so there is no need 
 * to dequeue requests before we are done.
