I don't remember if I asked before, but did you test on 4.4? The two latest
longterm series are 4.9 and 4.4. 4.7 should be abandoned and forgotten by now
really, certainly not used daily in production, it's not even listed on
kernel.org anymore. Also it's possible the 4.7 branch that you test did not
receive all the bugfix backports from mainline like the longterm series do.

FWIW, this appears to be the big Btrfs change between 4.7 and 4.9 (in 4.8):

Btrfs: introduce ticketed enospc infrastructure
