Did you build and install new boot blocks?

Yes.

Oddly, setting:

zfs set mountpoint=legacy data/root  (plus the appropriate fstab entry)

You can use zfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:data/root" in /boot/loader.conf instead of an fstab entry. Mountpoint=legacy is required either way.

instead of

zfs set mountpoint=/ data/root

This only applies to Solaris, IIRC.

seems to produce a bootable system, although it absolutely should not
be necessary to do things that way anymore.

I ran into that problem as well. The instructions for root-on-zfs for 9.x (at least as of 9.1) are wrong--you need to use the 8.x-style instructions with mountpoint=legacy for / and, for fresh installs, leaving the pool imported and copying over /boot/zfs/zpool.cache.
