Solaris 11 useradd & automount /home

The Solaris 11 useradd feature which updates the auto_home map to mount home directories under /home seems to have broken on me.  It may have started happening after a recent patch, but of course I deleted the old snapshot.  I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior. 
It will create a new ZFS filesystem for the user OK but does not update /etc/auto_home with a new entry.  I must manually create the map entry now, and then change their home directory in /etc/passwd from "/export/home/user" to "/home/user".  Then the user's /home location is mounted properly at login.  Apologies if I missed something obvious here, but the first couple accounts I created (with identical flags... -d, -m, etc) worked fine.

Howdy, Stranger!
