This is not a bug and you should not fix it:
this setup uses boot environments and /var and /usr with content belongs 
to particular BE. If/when you will fork BE with, say, CURRENT, it will 
need different files, hierarchies and filesets in /usr and /var.
On the other hand, /home, /var/log, /tmp, /var/tmp et cetera live outside 
of any BE.

Good news: booting into single user you may use vi or mc :)
