Very unusual.  Would you be able to try 9.2 zfsloader again?
I would like to see values of loaddev, currdev and vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool
loader variables (if any are set).  These can be obtained using 'show' command
at loader prompt.  Also, output of lsdev -v.

Also, if you are able to build custom 9.2 zfsloader, then it would be useful to
modify the printf statement (in zfs_fmtdev(), sys/boot/zfs/zfs.c) to print
dev->pool_guid.
