On reporting this I got the notice that this could be fixed by the 
following BCacheFS commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/
fs/bcachefs?id=3e44f325f6f75078cdcd44cd337f517ba3650d05

I was aware of some stable fixes, even briefly read through them. But I
did not make the connection.

I will likely wait till 6.7.5 and retry then.

Best,
