Ugh, that was a rather sobering experience. Lesson learned. To use
/dev/dm-X goes much worse. The /dev/dm-0 for logdev goes untranslated,
but the /dev/dm-1 seems to get auto-translated back to /dev/mapper/tData
(more commentary after this):

So I got rid of the linear objects, went to cfdisk, brewed up some
good-old-fashioned MBR logical partitions, and then...

And here's how it runs on bare partitions after reversing the patch and
reinstalling xfstests, as a sort of check figure...

So I'll consider this problem solved as well as another trial-by-fire
lesson in using the device-mapper objects. Thanks again!
