Bingo!  I knew it was something simple (although ever so slightly
non-intuitive).

Thanks to everyone who responded and especially to Jari for his very
insightful comments...  (for those of you who aren't native speakers of
English, that last bit was sarcastic).

Turns out Dale had it right.  I suspect that setting the block size from
the mke2fs command line would also work just fine.

Cheers,
Tad
