Oh it happened to me alright! My backup server was running Debian Stable on a 32bit opteron system with a 10T disk cache (xfs over lvm). We purchaced another RAID enclosure and hooked it up to the system grew the LV and the filesystem and kept going, untill reboot! Backups were down for a week while a new 64bit server was on order. :This is a kernel problem that was fixed quite some time ago - the git :commit was 4cc929ee305c69573cb842aade059dbe2a93940c - so :xfsprogs (userspace) is not the right place to fix this one. Well don't I feel silly. Though I still can't get google to show me this without using the git commit id you reference, which sucks but is hardly anything to do with you or xfsprogs...
