No longer true, you can swap and dump to a ZVOL (but not the same one). 
  This change came in after OpenSolaris 2008.05 LiveCD/Install was cut 
so it doesn't take advantage of that.   There was a big long thread 
cross posted to this list about it just recently.

The current SX:CE installer (ie Nevada) uses ZVOL for swap and dump.
