And once you've done that you go into the non-global zone and do 
ifconfig bge0 plumb etc.

No, because they're different objects.  "ifconfig" controls IP
interfaces, not NICs.

To move a NIC into a running exclusive-IP-stack zone, use dladm.  This
should do the trick:

dladm set-linkprop -t -p zone=myzone bge0

Note that "-t" is required.  To make a permanent change, use zonecfg.
