I tested last night with my remaining boot environments, and you're
correct.

Every time I ran 'beadm destroy -F -s -v <bename>' and then
ran 'zfs list -t snapshot | wc -l', the number of lines output decreased
by one.  beadm -s was removing a snapshot, every time.

I'm not sure where the few extra snapshots came from, but beadm -s does
appear to be doing what it's supposed to.
