IMO, the issue here isn't filesystem or zfs behavior, it's that bmap-tool wants an extra "don't care bit" per block, which filesystems (traditionally) don't track, and programs interacting with filesystem don't expect to exist.
Some of the comments I've made in this issue describe options to make things better.
I'm keeping an eye on it but it's not there yet e.g. https://github.com/koverstreet/bcachefs/issues/619#issuecomm...
