Just tried it on a test pool. (on md devices).  7.2-RELEASE


[carenath] /testpool# zfs list -r -o name,used,avail,refer,quota testpool
NAME            USED  AVAIL  REFER  QUOTA
testpool        156M      0   156M   156M
testpool at test  22.6K      -   153M      -
[carenath] /testpool# ll -h
total 159295

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    77M Jul 30 11:37 zero
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2.6M Jul 30 11:44 zero2
[carenath] /testpool# rm zero
rm: zero: Disc quota exceeded

So quota workaround doesn't quite works.
It could possibly be an issue where quota limited users fill up their 
allowed space : they can free space by themselves.
