(In reply to Andriy Gapon from comment #1)
there is no gptzfsboot(8) on my 10.1 system...

But I just looked at the 10.2 documentation and you are correct, the behaviour
is documented. So instead of complaining I should have just looked harder for
documentation :-)

But it might be nicer to skip pools without bootfs (imho).

The other thing I don't like, is that gptzfsboot doesn't seem to be able to
boot from a pool when there is only the zil on the boot device. It fails with
"all block copies unavailable". I think it should just skip a pool it can't use
anyway.
