It was working a couple weeks ago, but not does not. 
To reproduce, please issue this command:

1. bectl activate -t "not-default-be"

or 

2. zfsbootcfg "zfs:zroot/ROOT/not-default-be"

and reboot. The flag is neither used nor cleared. 
The bootloader was updated to the recent version. The boot method used in the
affected machine is BIOS.
