I can, but unfortunately, it's fixed itself in the meantime:

I wanted to make a copy of the image, and mounted it read-write. I stat'ed
all files inside (which worked) and then rsynced all files out.

Then I unmounmted it and re-ran xfs_repair
(http://ue.tst.eu/3cbc07150eb6b69c63361937c6c3044f.txt) which got much
farther, but failed with the same error.

Then I re-ran xfs_repair one last time, which ran through without any "error"
messages.

An xfs_metadata -o is here (gzipped):
