This looks like it probably is an error that should never happen.  Note
that I can't see how this error could occur with existing illumos, assuming
that the disk targets are managed by "sd".  (I am thinking the assertion
 from ZFS is indicating a non-zero return from strategy(), which should not
be possible under any circumstance.)

I've not checked Joyent's tree, but I'd *really* like to know if this is
reproducible under stock illumos.  (The backtrace you showed have line
addresses that don't make sense for illumos-gate, so this is conjecture on
my part.)
