Isn't this just a cluster-size filling issue? It looks like accounting is being done on a bytes-used basis but files are managed on a per-cluster basis, so it's possible to extend files out to fill the cluster without coming into conflict with the quota system.
Which is why effective quota security should enable inode limits as well as byte limits. If I can take up all the useable clusters with 0-byte files, that is just as bad as being able to take up the useable space with 1-k files.
