How recent are your XFS commands? It looks like you device size does not
play well with this version of mkfs, there was a version which had
problems like this, and it is possible the current one still does.

Basically mkfs sliced the device up into chunks and hit a boundary
condition on the size. Simon's suggestion would work, but you should
be able to up the size to say 915m out of the 916 you have.
