It Works fine in normal mode except we need to note people to modify their btrfs-progs with
that incompat flag at the first step ;)

However, for log recover, I use the following script:

$ touch /mnt/btrfs/foobar; 
$ ./fsync_self /mnt/btrfs/foobar; (fsync_self is a wrapper of fsync() written by myself)
$ for i in `seq 1 1 300`; do ln /mnt/btrfs/foobar /mnt/btrfs/foobar$i; ./fsync_self /mnt/btrfs/foobar$i; done;
$ echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

when we come back,
$ mount disk /mnt/btrfs

and it hits a warning and a hang, the dmesg log shows:
