I took an Ubuntu install I had (for x86) that was on a USB drive, had been pretty extensively used, and was is ext4. I couldn't find any size 0 directories. Are you able to reproduce this problem on other hardware? Is the image in question NOT remountable as ext3 (extents is set, generated) ? My biggest concern is breakage among ext2/3 filesystems.
