Two weekends later and still the same deal with send | recv. ;)
Just worried that this'll make it into 8.0-RELEASE, that's all. That  
would be bad. The patch linked above seems to solve the problem for  
me, anyway. I just tried a fresh build (sources from June 5th at 10AM  
CEST), without the patch, and I got the same core dump on zfs recv,  
with a SIGSEGV in strcmp(). (See the linked thread.) Applied the  
patch, rebuild libzfs, rebooted, and it works again.

It seems something along the lines of
zfs snapshot -r tank_at_initial-snapshot
zfs send -R tank_at_initial-snapshot | zfs recv -vFd slave
and then
zfs snapshot -r tank_at_testsnap # some other, unrelated snapshot in  
between may or may not be needed to crash, I'm not sure
zfs snapshot -r tank_at_second-snapshot
zfs send -R -I initial-snapshot tank_at_second-snapshot | zfs recv -Fvd  
slave
causes the core dump.
