Right, except the OP stated he unmounted the filesystem in question, and it was the *ONLY* one on the drive, meaning there is absolutely 0 chance of their being pending writes. There's nothing to write to.
This is an interesting assumption leading to a wrong conclusion. If the file is updated and the filesystem is "unmounted", it is still possible for there to be uncommitted data in the pool. If you pay closer attention you will see that "mounting" the filesystem basically just adds a logical path mapping since the filesystem is already available under /poolname/filesystemname regardless. So doing the mount makes /poolname/filesystemname available as /filesystemname, or whatever mount path you specify.
