This is going to be a very fragmented file. I am guessing that this

measurements before going to 3.4.x as per Eric's note.
filefrag -v should also tell you how many fragments, and because it
uses fiemap it probably won't run into the same problems.
But it sounds like we can just assume very high fragmentation.
It's not addressing the exact issue, but why are the files so fragmented?
Are they very hole-y or is it just an issue with how they are written?
Perhaps preallocation would help you here?
... and one pass with xfs_fsr seems to have "fixed" the problem
[root@siFlash test]# xfs_fsr
xfs_fsr -m /proc/mounts -t 7200 -f /var/tmp/.fsrlast_xfs ...
