What you see are the default permissions of the devices. Once the device 
is marked as ready by the kernel and a uevent is emitted, udev will run 
its rules and apply the permissions. In this case

# grep btrfs-control /lib/udev/rules.d/*
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="btrfs-control", 
GROUP="disk"

You can manually trigger a uevent by e.g.
echo change > /sys/class/misc/btrfs-control/uevent

Has systemd-udev-trigger.service been run successfully during boot?

I don't remember any udev related changes which could cause this.

 From which version to which version did you upgrade?
