This is qemu-kvm? What's the cache mode being used? It's possible the
usual write guarantees are thwarted by VM caching.

I'm not familiar with --recover option, the --repair option is flagged
with a warning in the man page.
Warning
Do not use --repair unless you are advised to do so by a
developer or an experienced user,

Old version of progs, I suggest upgrading to 4.17.1 and run
btrfs insp dump-s -f /device/
btrfs insp rescue super -v /device/
btrfs check --mode=lowmem /device/
These are all read only commands. Please post output to the list,
hopefully a developer will get around to looking at it.
It is safe to try:
mount -o ro,norecovery,usebackuproot /device/ /mnt/
If that works, I suggest updating your backup while it's still
possible in the meantime.
