Ah, now I can. It's easy when one lowers memory available to qemu. -m 
800M in this case:
echo $((1000*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkfs.ext2 /dev/zram0
mount /dev/zram0 /mnt/a/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/a/stuff
[  200.334277][    T8] EXT4-fs warning (device zram0): ext4_end_bio:343: 
I/O error 10 writing to inode 12 starting block 8192)
[  200.340198][    T8] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 8192


So currently, I blame:

    zram: remove double compression logic


/me needs to confirm.
