Reply to you:
I tried ext4 to btrfs once a year ago and it severely mangled my
filesystem.
I looked at it as a cool feature/hack that may have worked some time ago, but
that no one really uses anymore, and that may not work right at this
point.

Unless you hear back from a developer interested in debugging/fixing
this, I would assume that this feature is broken and dead.
