disks stage failure without visible error

Bug
We justed tried to update Fedora CoreOS from 37.20230218.3.0 to 38.20230709.3.0 but now the VM fails to boot when any additional virtual disk is to be mounted. What particular bad about this, is that no more concrete error appears to be printed in the output that would allow to further track this down:

Operating System Version
Fedora CoreOS 38.20230709.3.0
Ignition Version
2.15.0
But also tested with Fedora Core OS 38.20230722.2.1 including ignition 2.16.2 with the same result.
Environment
Running CoreOS as .ova VM template on ESXi / vSphere
Expected Behavior
The VM successfully boots.
Actual Behavior
Ignition fails during boot causting the VM to enter the emergency mode.
Other Information

}Running journalctl -u ignition-disks.service on the emergency shell showed the actual error - mkfs.xfs failed because the disk to be formatted was less than 300MB in size. Seems like a lower limit has been introduced for xfs in one of the last releases.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with ignition but any hint about why that message did not occur within VM logs?
