No.  Maxsize is a hard limit, while minsize is always rounded up to at
least the bsize.  If you attempt to specify an improperly-rounded quantity
as both the minimum and the maximum (for instance, because the bsize makefs
decides to use has increased between executions), you'll always produce an
image which is too large.  That's exactly what this check was added to
catch (and make less obtuse.)
