I also had this problem 2-3 times in the past,
but I cannot reproduce it.

Using dtrace against the kernel, I found out that the source
of the EBUSY error 16 is the kernel function zil_suspend():
[b]

It seems that you can identify zfs filesystems that fail
zfs snapshot with error 16 EBUSY using
zdb -iv {your_zpool_here} | grep claim_txg
If there are any ZIL headers listed with a claim_txg != 0, the
dataset that uses this ZIL should fail zfs snapshot with
error 16, EBUSY.
