Well, if you look at vfswrap_get_alloc_size() the comment is:

  Given a stat buffer return the allocated size on disk, taking into                                                                                                  
  account sparse files.

I thought that is the reason why the size isn't taken into account at all. 
However you could just extend the if-clause and leave early. See attached ...

Ralph discovered that 'store dos attributes = yes' also results in a block 
size of 8.
