That's not a failure, but it isn't run. AFAICS it is because
_require_meta_uuid expects to work on a scratch fs, but none is
generated beforehand as the _require_xfs_mkfs_crc that did that under
the hood now went away.

The fix is to probably just nuke _require_meta_uuid and explicitly
create a CRC-enabled fs. I'll look into that.
