We had already discussed with with Rick privately, but for the archives,
looks like my problem had been solved somewhere between 13.1 and 13.2,
and it's not related to ZFS.

sh -c 'cd /tmp ; truncate -s 20m foo ; limits -f 8386560000 cp foo bar ;
stat -f %z bar'

==> 13.1:
Filesize limit exceeded
0

==> 13.2:
20971520

Allegedly this is due to commit 52360ca, but I'd have to look closer into
it to be sure.  Sorry for distracting you guys from that recent ZoL merge
fallout, I should've not be lazy and reported it earlier. :(
