Problem confirmed. 2.6.23.8 regularly generates segments up to 64KB for

Just a suspicion ... could this be slab vs slub? ie check your configs

Mmmm.. a good thought, that one.
But I just rechecked, and both have CONFIG_SLAB=y
My guess is that something got changed around when Jens
reworked the block layer for 2.6.24.
I'm going to dig around in there now.
