Hi Sebastien,
This is definitely a bug in beadm. It appears that what's happening is that the
snapshot name used is the same as the BE name and is not renamed when the BE is
renamed. Due to this if the original name of the BE is used we can run into a
name collision which causes the zfs promote to fail.
I've filed bug 12360 to track this issue.
Thanks!

It appears to have activated "nwam" anyway. The "nwam" BE was created
from the "nwam-debug" BE using the -e option to beadm create while I was
in "opensolaris-126".
