- it appears to my amateur eyes, that it is ZFS that is having the problem.

ZFS is quite happy to take files over 2GB. Example InnoDB tablespace:

-rw-rw----   1 mysql    mysql       5.1G Jan 21 16:12 cookie_actions.ibd
-rw-rw----   1 mysql    mysql       3.4G Jan 21 16:12 list_members.ibd
-rw-rw----   1 mysql    mysql       8.3G Jan 21 16:12 log.ibd
-rw-rw----   1 mysql    mysql       9.2G Jan 21 16:12 post_clicks.ibd

Or test for yourself:

[20100121-16:11:06]::[...@clamour]:[/export/scratch]$ dd if=/dev/urandom 
of=random bs=1024 count=4194304
4194304+0 records in
4194304+0 records out
[20100121-16:14:29]::[...@clamour]:[/export/scratch]$ ls -lh random 
-rw-r--r--   1 bda     bda        4.0G Jan 21 16:14 random
