Uh, this only helps part of...

I changed my test setup and used writable snapshots. After that I got:

WARNING: DM_snapshot_cow signature detected on /dev/cvg/snap-home at
offset 0. Wipe it? [y/n]

(see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176504 for another report)

Looks like disabling blkid_wiping fixes this. My snapshot corruption still
occurs though. :-/
Bad thing about it is that the corruption does not occur reliable when doing
simple tests in 'git bisect'... Out of ideas for now - Will go to bed now.
