Apologies for misleading you - I thought you were more familiar with btrfs. The summary change is incorrect and btrfs is doing the right thing. Quite simply the filesystem is made up of more than one partition, so more than one partition correctly has the same UUID. But that also means looking at /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID can only point to one of the partitions making up the filesystem UUID.

The btrfs wiki talks about multiple devices: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices
