You might be able to xfs_mdrestore, mount that, remove all but the
offending directory, re-metadump that, and put it out there?  Just a thought,
I haven't looked in further detail at your xfs_db adventures, sorry - maybe
there's enough info there but I'm swamped in other things ATM, so will leave
it to others, I hope.  :)
