Could that be the issue or did I miss something critical above? I wish the error message said *something* ;) Any other way of getting some extra verbose output to see where it's dying?

Weird.

One thing you can try is not only to uninstall the zone, but also delete its configuration (after exporting it) and then re-create it.

I'm trying to reproduce your bug right now.  I got this:

zonecfg:lx2> export
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/lx2
set brand=lx
set autoboot=false
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical=lx2
add property (name=gateway,value="x.y.z.1")
add property (name=primary,value="true")
add property (name=ips,value="x.y.z.246/24")
end
add attr
set name=dns-domain
set type=string
set value=x.y.z.net
end
add attr
set name=resolvers
set type=string
set value=x.y.z.1
end
add attr
set name=kernel-version
set type=string
set value=2.6.32
end
zonecfg:lx2> exit

Okay... dumb question:  is "/zones" on your box its own ZFS dataset?

It should be, and MAYBE that's causing your problem?
