I don't know if you're easily able to test old kernel versions but it
could be helpful to test the kernel that Disco released with. That's
kernel version 5.0.0-13.14.

That kernel would not have this commit:

 https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/disco/commit/?id=13674c2ebe52da7c30cf27f9800d0624c63deb03

It doesn't look problematic to me but it is a commit shared between
current Disco and Eoan kernels and intersects with the direct I/O
operations that mkfs.xfs does on the block device.

It is a reach but just knowing whether or not the Disco release kernel
is affected would allow us to rule out (or not) any changes landed since
the release.
