OK - this appeared to work:  imported the zpool into opensolaris 77,  
did a zpool scrub - and no kernel panics. Cool!

But - after reimporting the zpool back into Solaris10u4 (where it  
belongs) a zpool scrub still causes a kernel panic - although it  
seemed to take a bit longer to panic. Same error message as before -

panic[cpu1]/thread=2a1015c7cc0:
Dec 15 12:49:35 server unix: [ID 361072 kern.notice] zfs: freeing  
free segment (offset=423713792 size=1024)

Note that opensolaris 77 and Solaris10u4 are on the same physical  
hardware - I'm just booting off different system disks.

Sigh. This must definitely be a bug.
