--- Comment #2 from Alan Somers <asomers at FreeBSD.org> ---
Additional info:

The smallest value of -M that makes this testcase pass is "-M 753665".  I think
the problem probably lies in ffs_size_dir in usr.sbin/makefs/ffs.c.  That's the
function that does most of the size estimation.  However, it relies on intimate
knowledge of FFS's internals.  Assigning to the resident FFS expert.
