I don't see the boot menu I normally see that lists the opportunity to boot single-user; disable ACPI; and so on. > > Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a mismatch between gptzfsboot and my current pool version? (Gptzfsboot includes the message I'm seeing.) Am I supposed to rebuild and replace gptzfsboot every time the pool version is updated?

Well, I guess that's what test installations are for... :-) There is no on-disk format change that affects ZFS boot itself, but you will need to install new gptzfsboot. If you have another system and have the file, you can do it by booting from the LiveFS Disc, fetch it from network, and use gpart to install it.
