The tools have a command to zero out the btrfs log tree, that would have
allowed you to mount.  Do you still have the busted FS?

Thanks a lot for this bug report, I'll try to reproduce it.

We don't reuse the ids for subvols or snapshots, but we can have a
little less than 2^64 of them.  An id can be reused as long as there are
no blocks with refs for it in the extent allocation tree, but that needs
to be checked before we reuse it.
