I accidentally posted this to Andrei Borzenkov
I repost to the list with the first 3 lines added from what was earlier sent.

Regarding to my manual for btrfs-subvolume  dated 01/19/2016  it says.
"If only <dest> is given, the subvolume will be named the basename of
<source>. "
So 'btrfs su snap <dest> is a shortcut for 'btrfs su snap <source>
<source>/<dest>

Ok. If you try to replace line 2 with
btrfs su snap is-this-a-bug is-this-a-bug/is-this-a-bug
then do the rest of the lines.
After that - what is the lines for Source(s) when you execute  'btrfs
sub  show is-this-a-bug' .?
