Determined that the cause was that the kernel hadn't loaded the xfs module. While this is understandable behavior in retrospect, it is still extremely frustrating. Almost all drivers except filesystem drivers get dynamically loaded as needed by udev/systemd. Perhaps mount could be modified to check if the requested fs type is usable with the currently loaded modules, and try to load the required modules if it isn't, and only report an error if that fails.
