To answer your questions:

* Yes, the problem also occurs with openvox.

* If I remove zfs.ko, openvox runs fine.  Zpool status, instead of forcing a
module load, simply complains about not being able to load zfs.ko.  I suspect
that as part of gathering "facts" about your system, facter and puppet simply
call zpool status.

* I'm sorry I didn't mention the CVE in the subject line, but I did mention it
in the first paragraph of my first post, even if I didn't link to it by name. 
I figured, in being reviewed by people who were writing kernel code, it would
already be a known issue.

* No, deleting or renaming kernel modules (which would be replaced by pkg or
freebsd-update) doesn't seem like the right answer here to me.
