I have been bitten by this one too and to "reproduce" it I only had to

 1) boot 2.6.17.x (x<17)
 2) generate some IO on the xfs-mounted partition...and wait until the
    fs shut down.

The fix is really to use a 2.7.17.7 or later kernel and check your
xfs with xfsprogs (version 2.8.10 or later) - if no corruptions are 
found, you should be fine.
