Definitely -- and last I checked (which was admittedly more than six
months ago), a new framework was in the works. Scott Carter would
know the details.

I think the situation is mitigated by two factors:
1. The 'configinfo' output is only used if an interface is
offlined and then onlined again without ever having been
removed. Generally speaking, this is not commonly done.
Instead, an offline is usually just a transient step that's
passed through on the way to removal.
2. Typically, offline is only done with interfaces that are using
IPMP and thus provide somewhere for addresses to failover
to[1]. In that case, the zone configuration ends up being
irrelevant because the only addresses that are restored
using[2] configinfo information are IPMP test addresses, and
those always belong to the global zone.
[1] This is not a hard requirement; -f can be used to cause the offline to
occur regardless. In that case, it seems like interfaces will indeed
be reconfigured into the wrong (global) zone.
