I was just going to comment on this as well. I cannot get this to work as advertised on a homegrown system as well.
Even tune2fs -l | grep inode and ls -i .journal show it's still using the same inode.
Actually, a quick look through the code, I can't see where e2fsck would take measures to hide .journal. At least not in 1.25.
