I have also done this, and was also happy that the only corruption was to a handful of unimportant log files. Part of a robust filesystem is that when the user does something stupid, the blast radius is small.
Other less-smart filesystems could easily have said "root of btree version mismatch, deleting bad btree node, deleting a bunch of now unused btree nodes, your filesystem is now empty, have a nice day".
