I looked at the source a bit and the difference between 3.0.25 and
3.0.26 is mostly some new checks. So technically this isn't a
regression as far as checking is concerned (it finds an alleged error
then doesn't actually change anything) and only that it prints that
message (that check didn't exist in 3.0.25 after all).

Bug#768909: dosfstools: fatlabel clobbers existing entry in root directory

[Andreas Bombe]

Package: dosfstools
Version: 3.0.26-4
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

I found this bug reported against the same version of the package in
Fedora reported by user ghborrmann and reproduced it.

Original report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1158101

Quoting the steps to reproduce:

> 3. Unmount the file and label it using fatlabel.
> 4. Mount the file again and list the directory with ls
> 5. Unmount the file and run fsck.fat
