I also think so. Could you send v2 of your patch - kill the incorrect
check and add your correct check instead.

I do not have time for testing this now, so I'd ask you go test it. But
I realize that power cut testing can take a lot of time, and your patch
looks right to me, so I'm happy to take your patch right away, but I'd
anyway ask you to conduct some testing anyway and inform about your
results later.

BTW, you can try the power cut emulation testing. If you care a lot
about power-cut robustness, it is helpful. The integck test now can do
power cut emulation testing with UBIFS. But there still some small
issues, though.
