Not a mess, it's just a side effect of the conversion while it's still reversible. It's kinda both ext3/4 and Btrfs at the same time after conversion. You can even still mount the snapshot as ext3/4. Once you're ready to commit to Btrfs and not use the ext rollback snapshot, deleting it and balancing completes the conversion. It's more of a metadata duplication via in-line migration.
