Apologies, it works somewhat different:
filesystem doesn't allow to delete subvolume with id 5 and POSIX access
is checked before deleting subvolume with user_subvol_rm_allowed mount
option.

res = ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY, &args);
if(res < 0 ){
         error("cannot delete '%s/%s': %s", dname, vname,
                 strerror(errno));
