IOWs, you've got a version of xfs_db that has the infinite loop bug
that the xfs/253 is trying to tickle:

# This test was created to verify fixes for problems where metadump
# would never complete due to an inability to find a suitable
# obfuscated name to use.

Upgrade your xfsprogs package to 3.1.11 and the problem should go
away.

Cheers,

Dave.
