Not much to add, but this one really surprises me and it may be related 
to the new problem you're seeing.

I don't recall ever seeing a -dusage=0 actually error out due to ENOSPC 
before.  It normally either works, killing some empty chunks, or runs 
without error but also without finding any empty chunks to kill, thus 
"doing nothing, successfully" (to borrow the one-line name and 
description for true (1)).

That even a balance with -dusage=0 is actually failing, not just 
completing without doing anything as might be expected, is strange 
indeed.  With a bit of luck that's a strong hint to the devs as to what 
has actually gone wrong and how to fix it.
