What gives you confidence in that?
Do you know exact moment where execution passes from gpt(zfs)boot to loader?

And they wouldn't affect gpt(zfs)boot or loader anyway.
Those settings are for kernel.

So, given what you wrote below this is plain impossible?

The only explanation I have is that those ZFS error messages come from loader.
AFAIK, at preset we do not have loader vs zfsloader distinction, there is a 
single unified loader with ZFS support.
So, the loader is able to detect and tries to probe the pool.  And fails.
