I suspect that the change of btrfs init (from very early (@~1.8s into the boot) until a few milliseconds before the root mount is changing the order in which the filesystem type list is traversed by the mount, resulting in XFS being used to probe the device before btrfs. Why XFS is seeing /dev/sda2 as containing an XFS filesystem is not yet clear, but perhaps once you've dumped the the first sector of the btrfs partition all will become clear....
