Clean rebuild didn't resolve it. However, I made some progress.

I created a dataset specifically for this since I can't really unmount
my /usr/home dataset, so my example down below is a bit different than
the previous example I gave.

The xattr property is set to "on" for the dataset. However, it's not
mounted with the xattr property. In order to get it to work, I had to
run the following commands:

==== BEGIN LOG ====
$ sudo zfs umount rpool/scratch/xattr
$ sudo mount -t zfs -o xattr rpool/scratch/xattr /scratch/xattr
$ zfs get xattr rpool/scratch/xattr
NAME                 PROPERTY  VALUE  SOURCE
rpool/scratch/xattr  xattr     on     local
$ mount | grep xattr
rpool/scratch/xattr on /scratch/xattr (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls, named 
attributes)
$ mount | grep named
rpool/scratch/xattr on /scratch/xattr (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls, named 
attributes)
==== END LOG ====

So it looks like FreeBSD does not honor the xattr zfs property,
otherwise you would see a whole bunch of datasets mounted with the
"named attributes" flag in that last `mount | grep` command.
