lsof is wonderful for the information it provides, and evil for the way it digs into various places it really shouldn't to get it. That it doesn't work in a zone is no surprise, as zones purposely don't provide a lot of things that might let something in them find out about what's going on outside the zone, or escape from the zone. That lsof works at all is a minor miracle, a lot of hard work no doubt; but any kernel patch (and maybe even some non-kernel patches) could break it. Perhaps there needs to be a legitimate and stable interface to provide all the info lsof needs, but I have yet to hear of someone working on that. Until that happens (so the information could be provided only pertaining to processes associated with a zone, if it was run inside a zone), I wouldn't expect what you want to work, at least not without configuring the zone in an unsafe and unsupported way.
