I believe this means the version with feature flags, so OI distros
without that (pre-May 2012 IIRC) won't import the pool willingly.
The feature-flags were meant to drive the pool numbering scheme
into obsolescence, in lack of a common cooperative authority to
linearly and conflictlessly number the new software features.

Nonetheless, you might try the a5 or a4 releases for a LiveDVD test
(if they work, this narrows the range of code updates to revise),
and the a1 driver in an a7 environment. After all, the block-level
scsi driver and ZFS capabilities are quite independent things :)
