There was a bug where grub was unable to access files
on zfs that contained holes:

Bug ID           6541114
Synopsis        GRUB/ZFS fails to load files from a default compressed (lzjb) 
root
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6541114

That has been fixed in snv_71.  The description text is misleading,
there was no issue with reading lzjb compressed files, the bug 
occurred when reading "hole" blocks from a zfs file.



Grub is unable to read from gzip compressed zfs filesystems, though:

Bug ID           6538017
Synopsis        ZFS boot to support gzip decompression
