Isaac, You may wish to review

In the case you are in, you've got a zone which is uprev of the
global zone-- a case you should avoid, we certainly can't guarantee
that this will work. The simplest solution for now is to simply upgrade
the global zone to match.
In the future (maybe for November?) we will work harder to keep these in
sync.

This is temporary, and in future releases will change.

We will eventually have code in place to keep things in sync with
each other.
