Well, that line is modified by my patch. The original one is: i = ((numbits-(numblocks-1)*BLOCK_SIZE*8)/16)*2;
As you see, the constant is substituted by a variable. As you are running under emulation, the true value of that variable ( 4096 in standard minix3 releases, instead of the constant 1024 in minix1 and minix2), is probably found where it should not be found, or not found at all. And the result is what you show. Minix 3 provides for a variable size of the blocks. Try to find what block size you are emulating.
Also, though your dmesg shows a mounted loop partition, the minix subpartition in it is not stated. So it cannot be accessed.
By the way, you don't need to support minix on your Linux box to run it through an emulator, do you?
