If it were obvious what exactly the problem was under ZFS that doesn't  
appear under UFS, then I might have been able to solve it. "It just  
doesn't work" (tm), there is a command (which logically must exist)  
needed to make the environment right at that step that I couldn't  
find, and I'm not trying to solve that one today.

But 1) yes, sometimes the received wisdom that something different is  
better isn't true; and 2) no, apparently even the new UEFI loader  
still doesn't work on that notebook (thanks Asus, for going that extra  
ten miles to make it so weird and non-conforming), so with some  
disgust, I'm going to something else on that notebook for now because  
I'm going out of town today and didn't have all week to solve this.
