The culprit that kept re-enabling svc:/network/rpc/meta was /var/svc/ 
profile/upgrade (as setup by the flash install post deployment  
processing).

An error in the upgrade script (added by JASS, bug fixed in patch  
122608-02) caused the upgrade script to fail and the subshell  
executing /var/svc/profile/upgrade in /lib/svc/method/manifest-import  
to terminate before the upgrade script was renamed.  It was re- 
running and failing on every reboot.

Shouldn't the upgrade script be renamed even if it failed executing?

Would it not be wise at this point to set the state of svc:/system/ 
manifest-import to something other than "online"?  Surely the user  
should get an indication that something went wrong during the  
manifest import?  It would certainly have helped me to track this  
problem down a lot faster!
