The OI man pages are out of date with respect to some of the tools.  I
had a similar situation with ipadm.  The command exists but OI has no
man page for it.  IIRC it has to do with the conversion to Illumos, as
man pages were moved from a separate consolidation to being packaged
with their respective commands.  This means the bulk of the man pages
are now in Illumos core, so upcoming OI releases will be in better
sync.  OI 147 still had man pages from the original OpenSolaris docs
consolidation.

Sorry I can't answer about zfs diff directly-- haven't used that feature yet.
