3.16.0-0.rc2.git0.1 is pretty broken too. I am definitely seeing two 
other issues.

It looks like this one might be elsewhere in the I/O stack. When I got 
a live image to boot, dd reported /dev/sda3 as zero size which would 
explain why the superblock was bad. blkid returned info about the device 
so this seems really odd. And it only seems to happen on this one 
partition.
