Looks like ZFS ARC is broken for 2.5 years. Could somebody ZFS-competent confirm or dismiss?

One of the strongest features of ZFS is ARC algorithm for cache
management. It is still best algorithm for generic-purpose caches, for
~15 years now.
But looks like ARC implementation in post-Solaris ZFS broken for 2.5
years now, after adding "compressed ARC". Especially, adaptions on ghost
list hits are broken.
Look here for details:

Could somebody more ZFS-aware than me look at this diff? Looks like we
(and upstream, too) have huge problem with ARC effectiveness, which is
in-line with my gut feeling.
