As an intermediate action you could export the pool, boot a 9-current  
live-image, import the pool there and export it again. I do not know  
if you need to do a scrub or not to recover the free space or not.  
AFAIK you do not need to update to v28, the new code should take care  
about the issue without an update.

This will not prevent loosing space again, but at least it should give  
back the lost space for the moment.

Bye,
Alexander.
