Made xfs metadump without file obfuscation and I'm able to reproduce the 
problem reliably on the image (if some xfs developer wants metadump image then 
please mail me - I don't want to put it for everyone due to obvious reasons).

So additional bug in xfs_metadump where file obfuscation "fixes" some issues. 
Does it obfuscate but keep invalid conditions (like keeping "/" in file name) 
? I guess it is not doing that.

CC: Alex as he did obfuscation algorithm rewrite at some point.


Anyway repair logs for that metadump
