Just trying your test case.  It's not related to direct I/O or mmap I/O
since I can reproduce it without those.

# xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x11 -b 513 0 513" -c "truncate 1" -c "truncate 513" file
wrote 513/513 bytes at offset 0

xfs_bmap will cause the file to be flushed so there should be no dirty
data to be flushed during the sync.  Strange.
