Can anyone elaborate on this?

Emil, your bug report mentions the subvolume journal is different, and
not anything about silent content differences on file data (images,
databases, etc.) as you mention above.  How are they related?

Also, how is the journal different on the receive-side?  Is it "just"
a size/allocation issue, as David commented on the bug report; or is
the content actually different? For example, can it still be used to
recover the filesystem post-crash?  What does "fixed in V2" mean:
BTRFSv2 ?

Backup by snapshot+send/receive is my primary BTRFS use-case, so I'm
curious about details/pitfalls.

Regards,
Richard
