Block 0 is the superblock, so it appears like there is a superblock
write somewhere not guarded by an read-only check.  Can you still
reproduce this with a current kernel?  We now do have a testcase in
xfsqa (test 200) that checks exactly that scenario, but it doesn't
show issues on recent kernels.
