There's something wrong with the BE code.  You'll need to do the BE steps
from image-update manually:

  - beadm create update-2008.06.23-1 (or whatever)
  - beadm mount update-2008.06.23-1
  - pkg -R <mountpoint> image-update
  - beadm umount update-2008.06.23-1
  - beadm activate update-2008.06.23-1

(I'm not sure if create automatically mounts it for you, or whether
activate can work on a mounted BE.)  Also be careful not to activate the BE
if the update fails.  :)

Don't forget to run grub_update from the new BE, too, or when you try to
boot it, it'll reboot all by itself.
