Since I didn´t found any explicit mention on it:

Did you try btrfs-zero-log on the partition prior to mounting it?

All of my BTRFS will not mount after sudden write interruption cases have 
been solved by it. Except one with a BTRFS RAID 0 with lots of 2 TB drives 
at a time where I didn´t know about btrfs-zero-log. Maybe it would have 
helped there, too.

Of course I could be completely off track and this could be a completely 
different issue.
