Hi there is a bug that means LU does not work if the zone path is a zfs dataset mountpoint, I will dig uo the CR if interested, it is a high priority fix as far as I know due to go into solaris 10 update 6, so should be in snv builds very soon, but I will get the details and send them on.
So LU does support zones on zfs at this stage in latest snv builds, and in solaris 10 update 6.
