Here's the workaround I came up with:
in scan.c:

                /* FIXME: Why do we believe totlen? */
                DIRTY_SPACE(4);
                *ofs += 4;
                return 0;
        }
 
        // TODO WOZ FIXED
 
        /* older code confused dsize and csize in some cases, fix that
here */
        if (ri.dsize == 0 && ri.compr == JFFS2_COMPR_ZERO)
        {
                ri.dsize = ri.csize;
                ri.csize = 0;
                ri.node_crc = crc32(0, &ri, sizeof(ri)-8);
        }
 
        if (ri.csize) {
                /* Check data CRC too */
                unsigned char *dbuf;
                __u32 crc;
