After rebooting, the previously unaccessible file can now be read. But I
cannot tell if it contains the right data.

However, I just encountered the same problem with another, freshly
created file.

In Python 3. The equivalent code is more or less:

with open('file.dat', 'wb+') as fh:
     for buf in generate_data():
         fh.write(buf) # bufsize is about 128 kB


However, I should note that there is a lot of activity in this
file system (it contains my home directory), so the above alone will
probably not reproduce the problem.

That said, so far both the problematic files were created by the same
application (S3QL, of which luckily I am also the maintainer).

Do you mean btrfsck? It actually has a lot to say:

checking extents
checking free space cache
checking fs roots

root 5 inode 3150237 errors 400, nbytes wrong

However, the inode of the problematic file (16186241) is not
mentioned. But I guess this is not surprising, because also for this
file, I can read the contents after remounting.
