Hmmm, I'm a little surprised, btrfs doesn't actually maintain a link
count for directories.  If you use the stat program on /t it should say
the link count is one.  (please try this).

The btrfs mkdir call doesn't check the link count either.  Could you
please triple check another FS wasn't mounted on top of /t?
