Thank you for dumpseg output.

Ok. I see. But I really need to have for analysis as minimum last
segment's raw content #23445 (ss_seq = 305303, first block #48015360).
Because I need to conclude what the reason of failure with checkpoint
attach. I can see from code analysis that only raw dump can give to me
more hints than additional debug output.

As I can see, the most part of last partial segment is contained by
metadata files. Of course, you can share raw dump privately only with
me. I need to understand the metadata state only.

I think that you can have more simple solution. I suggest to have
special experimental build of the kernel that you can choose in the grub
menu. Moreover, debug output will be completely disabled by means of
#undef macro. Anyway, I need to analyze raw dump before offering to you
a patch with additional debug output.
