Not much information to go by... Obvious questions:
1) does it get to do_handle_open() on that test?
2) how far in handle_to_path() does it get?

I'd suggest to add printk(KERN_ERR "got to %d", __LINE__); in fs/fhandle.c at
beginning of do_handle_open()
right before each copy_from_user() in handle_to_path()
right before and right after the call of do_handle_to_path() (in the same)
and try your reproducers on the resulting kernel.
