Then I tried to boot the original opensolaris-1 image.  It boots in some safe mode with the root filesystem read-only.  Can't fsck it because it's zfs.  Nothing resides under /rpool.  Very unusable.  Beware!

Did you follow the "image-update" instructions detailed here

http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2008-July/001860.html

Unfortunately there was a flag day which at the moment requies some
manual steps in order to image-update from build 86 to build 89 or
beyond.  We're working to address this for the next release but in the
meantime, the manual steps listed are necessary.
