That was my understanding too, thanks for confirming.

Until this bug gets fixed, I'm perplexed as to why btrfs-zero-log isn't
fixing this.
Can't I unroll the last commits until I get to a stable one?

As luck would have it (again), I'm boarding a plane to Chicago tomorrow to
go speak at linuxcon about btrfs.
I would very much like not to have to spend 12H to restore my SSD from
backup :)
