FYI this has been confirmed by one of the alpha porters to be a bug in the kernel (a very long time ago). I'm not sure why it's still not been taken care of.... Please ask the alpha porters about the status of them fixing the kernel issue. As of lately alpha has been added to the "fucked archs" list (see bottom of debian/rules) which means util-linux runs the testsuite but ignores any failures to make the package build (without any guarantees of working at all).
