There is no doubt that it is both a bug and expected

Is it expected because it's a bug, or is it a bug that is not going to be fixed 
and so I should expect it?  Is there a bug/defect I can keep an eye on in one 
of the Opensolaris bug/defect interfaces that will help me figure out what's 
going on with it and when a solution is expected?

See:

6922161 zio_ddt_free is single threaded with performance impact
6924824 destroying a dedup-enabled dataset bricks system

Both issues stem from the fact that free operations used to be in-memory only but with dedup enabled can result in synchronous I/O to disks in syncing context.
