It's OK for it to say ext2 - GRUB's ext2 module handles all of ext[234].
You're not the first person to report problems with large ext4
filesystems, though (note that I couldn't reproduce this with a sample
small filesystem), and it may be an overflow of some kind within ext2.c;
this is definitely on our list to try to track down soon.

Can you tell us anything about how this filesystem was created? For
example, was it created from scratch as ext4, or upgraded from ext3?
