The parameter zfs.mount_snapshot was added that allows jailed users to mount ZFS snapshots. It also fixes bug 274263, which is about accessing those snapshots via the .zfs directory, not mounting them. Both of these uses should be documented in jail(8).
Also, the parameter operates as a boolean, but is listed as an plain integer (format "I" instead of "B"). Changing it to a proper boolean parameter would allow the existing boolean handling in jail.conf (i.e. "zfs.mount_snapshot" and "zfs.nomount_snapshot"), while the current "zfs.mount_snapshot=1" would still work.
The ZFS code change is trivial, but I'd still like buy-in because it's contrib code.
