Yes, you're running a version of gptzfsboot that only knows how to run
version 13 and below. The commit that brought in version 14 support also
bumped the version number for gptzfsboot though it doesn't look like any of
the code changed; perhaps version 14 doesn't change anything that gptzfsboot
cares about. Try rebuilding and reinstalling gptzfsboot and zfsloader to see
if that helps:
cd /sys/boot
make cleandir
make cleandir
make obj
make depend
make all
make install
gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 /dev/somedisk
Of course adjust the gpart command for your setup.
