AFAIR, ZFS on FreeBSD 7.x was always described as experimental.

This is a known problem (OpenSolaris bug id 6792701) that was fixed in
OpenSolaris onnv revision 9950:78fc41aa9bc5 which was committed to
FreeBSD as r208775 in head and r208869 in 8-stable.  The fix was never
back-ported to 7.x and I am unable to locate any workaround.

I thought that just importing a pool on a system with the bugfix would
free the space.  If that doesn't work, your only options are to either
upgrade to FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE or later (preferably 8.2 since there
are a number of other fairly important ZFS fixes since 8.1) and
upgrade your pool to v15 or rebuild your pool (via send/recv or similar).
