Both are buffer - like your trace shows that is was updating on the AIL 
and it really is but in both crashes the log item ail next link has been 
NULLed:

xfs-fsstress-max-acl-2:
crash> xfs_buf_log_item dde37370
struct xfs_buf_log_item {
   bli_item = {
     li_ail = {
       next = 0x0,
       prev = 0xdc01d6e8

xfs-fsstress-max-acl-3:
crash> xfs_buf_log_item db5bf0b0
struct xfs_buf_log_item {
   bli_item = {
     li_ail = {
       next = 0x0,
       prev = 0xdb5bf4d0
     },

not good.

--Mark.
