The other approach the btrfs folks might consider is to have a
sufficiently powerful "debugfs" or "xfs_db" program that can generate
test images with the desired property.

I've found that the time I've invested in creating debugfs has repaid
itself a hundred times over, especially when maintaining a regression
test suite for e2fsck.
