so if the above output is from the source system it does list
the 'rpool/tedzone/ROOT ' dataset, right ? I'm not sure why you claim
it does not ?

is the above zfs list from the source system before doing the zoneadm detach or 
after ?

can you show the zfs list output from the target system after the zfs receive 
before
zoneadm attach ?

I believe in the build 111b (2009.06) you are using, when a zone is 
halted/detached
the corresponding zfs datasets where not visible in the GZ, and we later 
changed that
(i'm not sure if that was before or after 111b/2009.06).
