Well the big problem here is that it's a loop device so even if it
were a known/fixed bug you're stuck being unable to boot; well, except
you could add a big enough device, convert to raid1, and reboot with
rootflags=degraded.
I'd use the external to make a backup, and start planning to make a
new fs, at least until someone else with a better idea arrives on
scene.
