This is a bug in the version of xfs_repair that comes with the SGI
1.0.2 iso images.  It's fixed in the current CVS sources -- just check
out the CVS module from sgi and build the "tools" subdirectory.  Drop
the xfs_repair binary it makes onto a floppy (you'll need to strip
and/or gzip it) and off you go.
