A quick look suggests that the differences between your 'pax -r' args and
what attach uses is '-@ -p e'. See install_pax() in
/usr/lib/brand/shared/common.ksh. If you update this line:
( cd "$ARCHIVE_BASE" && pax -r -f "$archive" $filtopt )
to:
( cd "$ARCHIVE_BASE" && pax -r -@ -p e -f "$archive" $filtopt )
give 'zoneadm -z myzone attach -a' another whirl, and report back, I
would be most appreciative.

Sounds like reasonable guesses, but I wouldn't expect cpio would have
an issue with stream size in pass mode. Do you have any file (including
sparse files) with a size > 4 GB?
