The closest one would be 6742586.  The description of the bug doesn't 
exactly match what you saw, but the cause was the same: the zone mounting 
code in LU was broken and had to be rewritten.

There are some docs on s10u6's restrictions of where zones can be put if 
you are using live upgrade.  I'll have to see if I can dig them up.

If you put your zones in a subdirectory of a dataset, they should work. 
But I'd recommend waiting for the patch to be released.
