 I think I must have communicated something badly - jail -r * is the
 way to remove all jails without specifying them, but if your only jails
 are foo and bar, then jail -r foo bar will do the trick.

That sounds absolutely sane; exactly the behaviour I'd expect.

The sentence that led me to think otherwise is the second sentence of this
excerpt from jail.8@r230776:

An argument of
.Dq *
is a wildcard that will operate on all jails.  To prevent errors,
this is the only way for
.Fl r
to remove all jails.

Thanks,

Daniel

P.S.  What is the timeframe for the jailconf framework to be included in
a release?  9.1, 10.0, ...?

  The default flags that /etc/rc.d/jail passes to jail(8) are -l -U
  root.  Failing to give jail(8) a name results in name==jid, as you
  found above.
  
  You can make the rc script name the jail by setting:
  jail_jubilee_flags=-n jubilee -l -U root
  
  
  Good point.  Would it make sense to have rc.d/jail behave this way by
  default?

 No.  rc.d/jail shall not be extended anymore; please see the framework Jamie 
 posted
 on freebsd-jail last year and test/review/report back there.
 
 See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2011-July/thread.html#1568
 

It appears that the problem is already solved in that framework:
a jail.conf(5) block defining a jail is required to be preceded by
a jailname{}, which is documented to set the jail(8)'s name.  In other
words, it won't be possible to define in jail.conf(5) a jail that will
end up nameless (and thus implicitly named as its jid).

Thanks for the pointer,

Daniel

 You get a config file etc and get rid of all the shell magic and 
 nightmare.

  Notice the rc script uses the second form of syntax listed in jail(8),
  at least on 9.0-RELEASE.
