In my case, it seems to me that there's two bugs that I encountered:

1. the free space cache being invalid blocked any and all resizes.
This was fixed with fsck (maybe resizing the fs to smaller and then to
max size contributed to the fix as well)

2. when i copy files onto the fs, most of the time the resizes work
correctly, but every now and then they won't, and it seems to me like
this only happens when there's a lot of data being copied, the cpu is
hot, likely the usb controller is hot, etc. It seems to me like at
that point the hardware just becomes less robust (without exactly
becoming buggy).
