I take that back, a bit:  "errors vs. no errors" was for xfs_repair -n.

a "full" repair with v3.1.4 shows only:

# repair/xfs_repair /mnt/test2/leslie/md0.img 
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
        - zero log...
        - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
non-null user quota inode field in superblock 5
reset bad sb for ag 5
non-null user quota inode field in superblock 10
reset bad sb for ag 10
non-null user quota inode field in superblock 18
reset bad sb for ag 18
non-null user quota inode field in superblock 23
reset bad sb for ag 23
        - found root inode chunk
Phase 3 - for each AG...
        - scan and clear agi unlinked lists...
        - process known inodes and perform inode discovery...
        - agno = 0
...
        - agno = 29
bad version number 0x3 on inode 124656869424
bad version number 0x3 on inode 124656869424, resetting version number

latest git does indeed find no errors; I'll re-check with full repairs to see when the detection stopped, and see if it's a false positive or not.
