For either mode, arguably the journal should be written with its own stream ID. But that's a subject that the filesystem guys need to tackle, once the support is one.
For the case of maintaining stream ID when in data=journal mode and copying the data out, I doubt that a use case that anyone would care about. If they do, the ext4/3 guys would need to sort that out.
I'll update the commit message to reflect that, it is a bit under explained at the moment.
