I have created an issue in the Opensolaris bug tracker and I've
updated the Illumos ticket with the URL. Hopefully they will fix it,
if not I'd be glad to hack together a patch that makes this not happen
in OI. I'm no python guru but this should be a pretty easy fix :)

Oh, and should anybody else encounter this issue, if you'd rather not
hack zfs.py, a workaround is to *also* set
com.sun:auto-snapshot:{frequent|hourly|daily|monthly|weekly}=false on
any of the volumes that are being snapshotted incorrectly.
