While triaging a bug filed in Ubuntu involving odd reboot failures, it
appears that XFS leaves the filesystem in a corrupt state that
requires journal playback to fix after a sync or reboot. Grub2
doesn't seem to understand the journal, leading to all kinds of
confusion after the reboot.
Shouldn't a full sync or remount to r/o flush the journal transactions
and leave the fs fully clean?

It should. We have a bug in xfs in that area.
