I thought *repair actually did mean *repaired (past tense).  But I might just
be confused?  xfs_attr.c:939 says:

do_warn(
	_("removing attribute entry %d for inode %" PRIu64 "\n"),
	i, ino);
tempentry = (xfs_attr_sf_entry_t *)
	((intptr_t) currententry +
	 XFS_ATTR_SF_ENTSIZE(currententry));
memmove(currententry,tempentry,remainingspace);
asf->hdr.count -= 1;
i--; /* no worries, it will wrap back to 0 */
*repair = 1;

...that looks like a repair to me?  Also see attr_repair.c:965:

	if (asf->hdr.count != i)  {
		if (no_modify)  {
			do_warn(
_("would have corrected attribute entry count in inode %" PRIu64 " from %d to %d\n"),
				ino, asf->hdr.count, i);
		} else  {
			do_warn(
_("corrected attribute entry count in inode %" PRIu64 ", was %d, now %d\n"),
				ino, asf->hdr.count, i);
			asf->hdr.count = i;
			*repair = 1;
		}
	}

...looks like we fix asf->hdr.count and then set *repair to 1.

A few dozen runs of xfs/72[0-2] are pretty good at hitting this.
