Line 216 of xfs_attr_leaf.c: in 3.13 is:

	if (!xfs_attr3_leaf_verify(bp)) {
		XFS_CORRUPTION_ERROR(__func__, XFS_ERRLEVEL_LOW, mp, bp->b_addr);

So xfs_attr3_leaf_verify() only checks these 2 things:

                if (ichdr.magic != XFS_ATTR_LEAF_MAGIC)
                        return false;

that magic is 0xfbee, so good there... and:

        if (ichdr.count == 0)
                return false;

so that's the problem, apparently.  If I'm reading it correctly, it's trying
to write an empty attribute block to disk; this shouldn't happen.

If you have traces, perhaps we can see which inode it's working on, and learn something
from examining it in xfs_db...
