After some reading of the mailing list archives, I added the following at 
line 1481 in drive_scsitape.c (version 1.5):

   rechdrp->first_mark_offset =
         INT_GET(rechdrp->first_mark_offset,ARCH_CONVERT);


The patched xfsrestore can read the damaged backup, but will probably be unable
to read backups from newer versions of xfsdump.
