On native btrfs, an extent must fit within the 1 GiB data chunk size, 
with extents inherited from an ext* conversion being an obvious non-
native exception.

I hadn't looked at the actual output, but that confirms my earlier 
suspicion, that after the ext* saved subvolume delete, the defrag somehow 
missed at least one file > 1 GiB with a "super-extent" also > 1 GiB in

Assuming no snapshots still contain the file, of course, and that the 
ext* saved subvolume has already been deleted.
