I don't think ANY situation in which you are mirrored and one half of the mirror pair becomes unavailable will panic the system. At least this has been the case when I've tested with local storage haven't tried with iSCSI yet but will give it a whirl.
I had a simple single ZVOL shared over iSCSI, and thus no redundancy. And bringing down the target system didn't crash the initiator. And this is with Solaris 10u4 not even latest OpenSolaris. Well okay if I'm logged onto the initator and in the directory for the pool at the time I bring down the target, my shell gets hung. But it hasn't panicked I will wait a good 15 minutes and make sure of this and post some failure-mode results later this evening.
