I'm not a dev, but I'd say a kernel crash dump would be very helpful. 
Can't you at least take pictures of the messages?

I've never read about such XFS errors, maybe you should 
1) xfs_metadump
2) xfs_mdrestore (into a file)
3) mount that file
and try to access files there. If this also crashes, it will really be 
XFS related.

Also, can you try putting the hard disks onto another system, possibly 
with changing the RAID controller? It might be a hardware error.
