Turns out our unit test uncovered a very subtle corner-case bug in ZFS,
requiring the following patch to FreeBSD:

I guess the unit test should probably be patched to to skip the test IFF the
underlying filesystem is ZFS and it exhibits the "length 24" problem.
(Actually, detecting if the underlying filesystem is ZFS is non-trivial -- just
testing for the "length 24" bug is probably sufficient.) I'll look into this
later.
(According to Andriy Gapon (FreeBSD developer that came up with the patch), the
bug is likely to affect all ZFS implementations since the beginning of time.)
