ext4 disaster

After updating from F10 to F11 using ext4migrate of my root partition (not
boot) I noticed that root was not ext4. I booted off dvd, used tune2fs to
turn on extents, ran fsck. On reboot, the kernel would not mount root,
saying it was using unsupported features!! I tried fixing with tune2fs, but
tune2fs refuses to turn off extents.
I did a clean install of F11 from scratch, choosing default ext4. Rebooted,
and guess what? Same thing!
Finally I did another clean install using ext3 and I'm back.
Big question: why did anaconda mount ext4 fine, but when I try to boot off
my hard disk the (same kernel) won't?
