Most likely I miss something obvious but according to xfs_repair(8): BUGS: The filesystem to be checked and repaired must have been unmounted cleanly using normal system administration procedures (the umount(8) command or system shutdown), not as a result of a crash or system reset. If the filesystem has not been unmounted cleanly, mount it and unmount it cleanly before running xfs_repair. which is there since commit d321ceac "add libxlog directory" Date: Wed Oct 17 11:00:32 2001 +0000 in xfsprogs-dev[1]. So will be there situation of uncleanly unmounted filesystem with "needsrepair" bit set? Will one be able to mount and umount it before running xfs_repair in that case?
