So looking at this code, xfs_dquot_disk_alloc allocates it's own
transaction, and does so without a space reservation.  In other words:
an ENOSPC is entirely expected here in the current form.  The code, just 
like many other callers of xfs_bmapi_write, just fails to handle
the weird 0 return value and zero nmaps convention properly.
