Hi Anomie and Phillip,
There was a recent change in GParted 0.16.2 that is directly related to
resizing ext2/3/4 file systems. Specifically the change no longer
subtracts 1 kiB from the file system size which would have prevented
this problem from occurring.
The relevant commit is:
Shrink file systems to exact size (#701075)
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/commit/?id=3461413d283f1bac77e541b1054e775ec105212f
In my resize testing of ext2/3/4 I have not encountered this problem,
but based on the bug report gparted_details.htm log file there exists at
least one situation where the file system is resized at least 1 sector
bigger than the partition.
I CC'd Mike Fleetwood on this so that he is aware of this problem. Any
thoughts Mike?

Yikes, looks like gparted has an off by one: it set the partition size
one sector two small. Do you have any thoughts on this Curtis?

I tried to shrink-and-move a partition on an external hard drive. It
seems that gparted shrunk the parition to 93768726 4K blocks, but then
resized the parition to only 750149807 512-byte sectors (93768725.875 4K
blocks). The post-shrink e2fsck then errored out before the partition
could be moved.
gparted log attached.
