I did format both test and scratch first with bcachefs, so guessing
something is going wrong with figuring out what filesystem is on the
device and then it defaults to XFS. I didn't spend too much time on that
bit, figured it was easier to just force bcachefs for my purpose.

Gotcha, yep it's because blkid fails to figure it out.
