Have you actually seen this problem on 3.5 with no compression? I fixed a problem in the 3.5 timeframe that should have fixed this for no-compression, and then I've since fixed the compression part of it in btrfs-next. Can you retest with btrfs-next and see if you still see the problem? In the meantime I'm running mksquashfs, but it's going to take a few years to complete ;).
