In case of ext2, some superblock fields get immediately updated as soon as the 
file system is mounted (ie. number of mounts, time of last mount, where it was 
last mounted etc), so in fact that filesystem is dirty as soon as you mount it 
r/w. But unless similar fields are also used by dosfsck, that might not be the 
case there.
