You can also 'recover' the lost space by running (as root on the server):
/usr/sbin/xfs_fsr 10Gtest
doesn't help :
]# xfs_fsr 10Gtest ]# du -hs 17G .
... it worked for me :-)
Interestingly, I did a similar 'dd' locally on a XFS file system (CentOS 6.2) and got an allocation size of 16Gb for a 10Gb file - may be it's a bug/feature of the XFS versions used?
I guess you might get a better response from the XFS mail list - see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ ???
