  So, the dnode in question is the MOS os_meta_dnode, for the MOS that's in the
SPA for the root.  (Mind you, the internals of ZFS are all a black box to me, so I don't
understand what I just said).

  Anyone have any idea why the dn_datablkszsec would be unset or wrote for
said meta dnode?  That seems to be the crux of the problem.  Where does that
all get initialized?
