In Gentoo we have a patch for XdmfH5Driver.cxx - It was introduced for 
paraview 3.6.1 but it may still be current. 
I am attaching for reference. One thing to note conditional compilation is
introduced for HDF5 v1.6 and 1.8. From the look of the patch the code
that is left alone is geared to HDF5 v1.8 but paraview ship with version 1.6
so paraview version may have been patched to include some v1.8 bits.
Most interesting are these 2 bits that are not conditional:

this is in the definition of H5FD_class_t H5FD_dsm_g, that would fit with your 
error message ie line 174 the definition supplied is too short and misses some 
fields.
