I've made a dd copy of the problematic array, changed the UUID in the copy and whittled it down to 0 files (removed all subvolumes)
Made an image of the 0-file array by "btrfs-image -c9", now posted to the bug (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111161)

Need to know if that's enough to go on or more info is needed..
Also would like to know if it's worth waiting a day or two for someone to give me a way to fix the original "broken" array -- or better to
just copy all the files and start over, as mentioned above?
