If ffs had overwritten the beginning of the partition you would have ended 
with a *different* error message and the kernel would not have crashed. 
But more likely, the situation you describe could have never ever 
occurred. Nobody else wants it this way, for a reason. You still haven't 
thought about it enough nor you haven't learnt enough.

=> Your homework is to figure out what the other error message would be
    and why.

(Trying to create a diff would help you to learn too, sending a bug report 
will not.)
