No, it does not hang completely.
Just the snapshots become unusable. This night, it happened again:

As you can see, the snapshot rotating got stuck somewhere. What is
displayed under .zfs/snapshot does not reflect what zfs is really seeing:
daily.6 is inaccessible, and the rotation that happened so far is not
reflected under .zfs/snapshot, either.
