The xfs_inode thinks there are 11 bmbt entries when there should only be 11:
   i_df = {
     if_bytes = 0xb0,              <- here 11 entries 0x10 bytes long
     if_real_bytes = 0x100,
     if_broot = 0xffff88009f74c680,
     if_broot_bytes = 0x28,
     if_flags = 0x6,
     if_u1 = {
       if_extents = 0xffff88033c44a000,  <-
       if_ext_irec = 0xffff88033c44a000,
       if_data = 0xffff88033c44a000 ""
     },

Looking at the if_extents[]:

It appears that current_ext is 10 (11th entry).
The assert is on the bad entry.

xfs_db thinks there are 11 entries:

recs[1-11] = [startoff,startblock,blockcount,extentflag] 
1:[1,372748,33,1] 2:[34,140496,18,0] 3:[52,1557619,53,1]

This xfs_db is before log replay, but it appears that the 3 extent is
missing in the data fork, everything shifted up and a garbage entry in 
entry 11.
