And indeed looking at the git repo that matches up with the entry:

	btrfs-20........06-fix-deadlock-when-mounting-a-degraded-fs.patch.
	btrfs-20140619-006-fix-deadlock-when-mounting-a-degraded-fs.patch

So a stray 8 bytes of zeroes got written there.

And the reply also ends with 000000017fffffff when I believe it should
end with two 4-byte 0's (no value follows, not EOF).

So I think those 0's got written to the wrong offset.  That should be
enough information to find the bug....
