Thank you for the suggestions.

I deleted the EFI labeled fdisk partition 2, and created one with type
OTHER.

*This aparently solved both problems instantaneously.*

I carefully checked that the problem is still rpesent, then deleted the
fdisk partition and created a  new one in its place, then after that I
checked the Solaris partition table and it got fixed.

I can now create a ZFS pool on the OTHER partition, AND the Solaris
partition now has got the exepected standard slices for slice 2, slice 8 and
slice 9.  All free hog also now operates as one would expect!

Strange.

Thank you for the help!
