Hello again everyone,
I was able to perform the steps I proposed last week:

For posterity sake, I thought I should post my results. Everything went
very smoothly, actually--even though the repair of the metadump I took
reported errors, when I worked with the actual filesystem, it fixed
superblock 0 but otherwise found no errors. The xfs_repair took about
42 minutes, compared to about 35-40 minutes to operate (on similar but
different hardware) on the metadump. That's really nice performance--I
had to e2fsck a ~5TB filesystem the other day, and it took about 5 hours
total.

I haven't yet attempted this final step. I am going to wait till I
return from another vacation to do so. :) But I am hopeful that with
the latest kernel available from the CentOS repos that I should be fine.
Is there a way to directly query the running module for version
information, so that I can try to verify that I have a version that will
work? Here's my uname, if it's helpful:
Linux xxxxxxxxxx 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 07:31:24 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
