It sounds like btrfs specific behaviour. It would be interesting to know
what kernel version and btrfs version you were using, if only to confirm
my suspicion that even the versions in Debian are not suitable for use in
production.

I'm going to guess that it was a series of 'btrfs balance' commands that
fixed things for you.
