In case anyone still cares, and if a VM running in Parallels on an OS X box is a good enough test for people... Matthew's answer tested out as being correct. The VM booted correctly after the binary update, but failed after upgrading the version of the zpool. Notably, `zpool upgrade -a` mentioned this in it's output, and gave the command to fix the problem. (Which would update the bootloader.) Daniel T.
