Definitely not xfs related. Try modifying the file with cat or echo:

emmanuel[/mnt/downloads]$ ll -i toto
85346879 -rw-r--r-- 1 emmanuel users 6 oct.  19 20:06 toto
emmanuel[/mnt/downloads]$ echo lrgezjn > toto
emmanuel[/mnt/downloads]$ ll -i toto
85346879 -rw-r--r-- 1 emmanuel users 8 oct.  19 20:07 toto


Most file editor use a temporary file and rename it when saving (to
avoid destroying the file in case of an error). This is what a good file
editor (like vim) must do. This is why you're seeing this behaviour.
