Follow-up Comment #2, bug #28779 (project hurd):

It turns out the reason was pretty simple. When iterating
through the blocks of a file, diskfs_S_file_get_storage_info
counts down the number of allocated blocks, and not the
number of potential blocks.
This also explains Samuel's original observation that the
disk size matches the actual size of the file and not the
potential size.
This won't be a problem if we error out if the file contains
holes, which I'll be working on next.
