It turns out that we could record btrfs_log_ctx:io_err in log_one_extents when IO fails, but make log_one_extents() return '0' instead of -EIO, so the IO error is not acknowledged by the callers, i.e. btrfs_log_inode_parent(), which would remove btrfs_log_ctx:list from list head 'root->log_ctxs'. Since btrfs_log_ctx is allocated from stack memory, it'd get freed with a object alive on the list. then a future list_add will throw the above warning. This returns the correct error in the above case. Jeff also reported this while testing against his fsync error patch set[1].
