So, the superblock says that the fs is 896 1k-blocks longer than the
device actually is.

hard to say, almost certainly sounds like an md problem; is there a
chance that your raid recovery led to a device which is somehow smaller
than it started?  You could change the superblock block-count value, but
I'm guessing that something else has gone wrong.

It might be useful to know what errors xfs_repair found.
