I'm just jumping right in, but I spotted this commit:

http://hg.openindiana.org/illumos-gate/rev/d5c7e34a4e3f

It might be worth you building/installing the latest Illumos gate to see if 
that addresses the issue.

We're doing reasonably regular Illumos builds, so if you can wait a bit I can 
ask someone to pop up a new build with this changeset.

Cheers,

Alasdair
