I've rerun the same test (heavy read/write IO while rebuilding) with
disk drives write cache off (that is RAID controller is running
in write-back mode, but the independant disks caches are set to
write-through).

The filesystem went corrupted too, however much less than previously:
it went back up online after a umount/mount cycle. Nothing at all
appears in xfs_repair output. However the IO error is weird as the RAID
controller reported no such error.

Still investigating...
