Come to think of it, since you say it only seems to happen on a
multipath SAN and not on a normal disk, it may be related to the order
of requests being sent to the disk and XFS's use of io barriers to make
sure that the unmap request for the old data does not hit the disk after
the new filesystem metadata has been written.  IIRC, xfs has mount
options to control the use of io barriers.  Do you have them enabled?
