Jails cannot access snapshots because, as I understand, snapshots are mounts. Nullfs does not provide an option to recursively bypass into mounts. The patch you responded to does not automatically mounts snapshots on clients, it only allows them to mount if wanted. You might try to set up something with autofs, no idea if it could be made to work usefully.
