Um, OK, it would definitely hang every time I attempt to mount the FS. It didn't produce errors, it just sat there, and the process could not be killed. Attempts to kill it would result in it attaching to the init process. An attempted soft boot would hang after a mount attempt. Per your suggestion, I cloned the git tree and compiled a new xfsprogs. It worked! I'm comparing to the backup system, and so far there are no unexpected failures. I don't think I lost much, and nothing irreplaceable.
Thanks a ton.

FWIW, I didn't reproduce a mount hang on my test vm running a variant of the 4.0 kernel.

Thanks for all of the data and the metadump. I could reproduce with xfsprogs v3.2.2 but not with the very latest build out of my source tree. It looks like the crash is due to zeroing a 512 byte sized buffer based on a 4k sector size. This is already fixed in the following
commit:
8bc43a39 repair: superblock buffers need to be sector sized
... which is available as of v3.2.3-rc1. I'm not sure what/whether packages might be available with that. You might need to grab the source to deal with this particular issue:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git/
With that fix, repair gets through and fixes whatever corruption it finds.
