thanks
OK, I see what's going on. We're freeing the mountpoint information
so when we print it in an error message, the error message is getting
printed as garbage.
This probably doesn't qualify as a severity "important" level bug ("a
bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without
rendering it completely unusable to everyone"), so I've downgraded it
to normal.
I've checked a fix into the e2fsprogs git tree, and it will be fixed
in the next release.
Thanks for reporting the bug!

resize2fs: Fix error message so the mountpoint is printed correctly
The resize2fs program was freeing the mountpoint information too
early, so garbage was getting printed instead of the correct
information in an error message.
