Below is exactly how I create and test the replication stream:

root@zfs1:~ # zfs send -R zroot@test1 > /mnt/zroot1.zfs
root@zfs1:~ # zpool create -f -o altroot=/mnt2 -O canmount=off -m none foobar1 vtbd2
root@zfs1:~ # zfs receive -vFn foobar1 < /mnt/zroot1.zfs 
would receive full stream of zroot@test1 into foobar1@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var@test1 into foobar1/var@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var/mail@test1 into foobar1/var/mail@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var/crash@test1 into foobar1/var/crash@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var/tmp@test1 into foobar1/var/tmp@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var/audit@test1 into foobar1/var/audit@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/var/log@test1 into foobar1/var/log@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/tmp@test1 into foobar1/tmp@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/ROOT@test1 into foobar1/ROOT@test1
would receive full stream of zroot/ROOT/test1@2016-08-22-21:58:22 into foobar1/ROOT/test1@2016-08-22-21:58:22
cannot receive incremental stream: destination 'foobar1/ROOT/test1' does not exist
root@zfs1:~ # 


I don't see anything incremental about it.
