Not hard to work around - zfs create and a mv/tar command and it is

Yep, this idea was previously discussed on this list -- search for
"zfs split" and see the following RFE:
6400399 want "zfs split"
Note that current draft specification for NFSv4.1 has the capability
to split a filesystem such that the NFSv4.1 client will recognize it.
Then the new filesystem can be migrated to another server is needed.
