Small world... Never seen this problem before your post, and hit it now myself ;)
We had an outage on an SXCE snv_117 server today with a data pool taking unknown time to import, so we decided to "zpool import -F" it. But the feature is lacking in build 117, so we imported the pool into an OpenSolaris 2010.03 dev 134 preview image, all went smooth (albeit slower than usually). We also imported the root pool to move the zpool.cache file out of the way, just in case, updated the boot archive and exported the rpool before rebooting back into the installed OS. Upon reboot we got an error very much like yours (unfortunately I can't copy-paste it - it scrolled away from the buffer too quickly with BIOS replacing it). I was afraid the rpool got updated somehow into a version unknown to snv_117. However booting into "failsafe mode" of the installed OS image was successful on the first try. It found the rpool and current bootfs and imported it with no problems. Then I just did "init 6" to finish the failsafe mode, and after a reboot the system came back up with no hiccups.
