I have no idea how they decided EINVAL was a reasonable errno for this case.

Mark, can you give this patch a try:

   if (int Err = ::posix_fallocate(FD, 0, Size)) {
-    if (Err != EOPNOTSUPP)
+    if (Err != EINVAL && Err != EOPNOTSUPP)
       return std::error_code(Err, std::generic_category());
