It's what I thought as well, but XFS seems to want to attempt to replay the log regardless on mount and write to the device to do so. This was the only way I found to mount it without converting the snapshot to a clone (which I couldn't do with the image options enabled anyway). I have this script snapshotting, mounting and backing up multiple file systems on my cluster with no issue.
