I haven't been able to reproduce so far. That said, my log recovery
testing thus far has been limited by the umount hang addressed by the
EFI patches I posted towards the end of last week. FWIW, that series
alone underwent a decent amount of recovery testing to show that it at
least addressed the hang without reproducing any such assert failures.
I'll have to put these all together in a series and beat on that for a
while.

Ok.

Alright. I'll fix up the rest of the function as such.

This is all within an 'if (xfs_sb_version_haslogv2(...))' block. h_size
(which the subsequent xlog_valid_rec_header() calls use) is fixed to
XLOG_BIG_RECORD_BSIZE in the else block.
