That is one reason. Another reason is that the extended attributes
'replicate' uses to keep track of the most recent copy of the file
make no sense if two different clients have differently ordered
subvolumes.

Nicolas,
If you did not have the order of subvolumes same on all clients,
please make sure they are try your operations on a *fresh* backend.
I've done the tests you described on our local cluster and find that
self-heal works fine.
