Yes, 4.3.1 is installed and even in the recovery-mode (i.e. if boot
fails) btrfs reports version 4.3.1.
Also, in this recovery mode, btrfs dev scan is working. Furthermore, I
can mount the drive in this recovery mode (which I *suspect* is the
initramfs).
My understanding is/was, that it is not sufficient that btrfs dev scan
is available, but also its execution must be triggered. Is that right?

I have run dracut -f. It does not solve the issue.

Yes, it is Rockstor (CentOS 7.2 based) installed in the way you mention.
