I've searched the upstream issue tracker, and found none about this.
I've built coreutils 9.1 and latest master from source on my Btrfs
machine, which ran the test suite fine.  I've also rebuilt the current
Guix coreutils package with success on the same machine.

I don't think the problem is with Btrfs, or at least it's not easy to
reproduce.

Closing for now.
