[without digging through the release notes, relying instead on grey memory :-)]

This behaviour has changed twice.  Long ago, the pools would autoexpand.
This is a bad thing, by default, so it was changed such that the expansion
would only occur on pool import (around 3-4 years ago). The autoexpand 
property allows you to expand without an export/import (and arrived around
18 months ago). It is not surprising that various Solaris 10 releases/patches
would have one of the three behaviours.
