    Now I wonder if THAT should be addressed as a ZFS bug?

    If you'd like, I can engage OpenZFS, or you can.

    And as for OmniOS availability, bugs fixed before end-of-May are 99%-likely to make it into r151022.  022 is going to break the 6-month cadence due to Python2.7 switch and the BSD Loader transition.  Since you migrate on LTS released, 022 is where you'll likely jump-to-next (Am I right?).

    Thanks for the update!
