All disks have XFS on top of bcache running. The udev rules were changed to reject bcache devices with a pre-existing superblock (xfs in your case). This was done to fail early when there's a risk of exposing an unsynchronised backend device, which would be a bad thing=E2=84=A2. You can remove the stray superblocks with wipefs.
