Well, it's not much help. It seems possible to "corrupt" a primary superblock 
that points to a corrupt tree root, and use btrfs rescure super-recover to 
replace it, and then mount should work. One thing I didn't try was corrupting 
the primary superblock and just mounting normally or with recovery, to see if 
it'll automatically ignore the primary superblock and use the backup.

But I think you're onto something, that a good superblock can point to a 
corrupt tree root, and then not have a straight forward way to mount the good 
tree root. If I understand this correctly.
