I am not sure if this is might be more of a question rather than a bug
report, but I'll try to answer.

At the moment the version of zfs-linux in Ubuntu bionic is
0.7.5-1ubuntu7. I don't know if there are any plans to update this
particular package before release of 18.04, but at the moment this seems
to be the version which will be shipped.

I just found bug 1757012, so it is possible this could be updated if
there is a push for it.

In general, newer package versions are added to the development version
of Ubuntu during the development cycle until it is officially released.
So for instance 16.04 (xenial) is shipping what was the latest version
in the archive at the time it was released. The package archives aren't
completly frozen, it is possible to update packages with specific,
important patches in a Stable Release Upgrade
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) or a backport of a newer
version (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports).

Hope this helps.
