I had upgraded to 4.7.3 to test this issue:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372910

It hadn't helped, but I didn't have time to debug it any further.
Since the Fedora 23 repos have 4.4.1, I guess downgrading is easier
for me.

Thanks for the pointer to the changelog; under 4.7.2 it mentions not
to repair with 4.7.1, so I'll try `btrfs check --repair` after the
downgrade.

Indeed, I have never been this confused about a file system before.

I tried repairing after the downgrade to 4.4.1, it says "Couldn't open
file system"!  Mounting now works without errors, I can also r/w files
as normal; go figure!
