Here's a workaround : try using something that can split-merge reliably. 7z should work, and it's already included on opensolaris. Something like 7z a -v8100m -ttar mypictures.zfssnap.7z mypictures.zfssnap should be very fast (using no compression), while 7z a -v8100m mypictures.zfssnap.7z mypictures.zfssnap should save a lot of space using the default 7z compression algorithm.
