Can you share logs regrading the sentence 'Solaris gets confused' ?
Something must be written in logs, feel free to paste them here if possible.
As for Linux zfs i have no experience, but the common denominator zpool and zfs version should be able to coexist across various systems if configured properly.
Since you are able to use the filesystem on both operating system, we shall assume it is.
Lets say you have a situation :
/home/user -> this is a regular part of rpool on solaris
/home/user -> this is a regular part of root volume group on linux
A third disk is introduced and zpool is created in <input operating system on which you have created the zpool>.
For the sake of argument the mountpoint for that zpool is mounted on /personal_files and it has directory structure behind (Documents, vbox etc.)
The mountpoint is the same on both operating systems.
A soft link is created in linux /home/user pointing to /personal_files/Documents
A soft link is created in Solaris /home/user pointing to /personal_files/Documents
Is the above correct ?
In that case, one should not have any issues regarding mounting the home directory, regardless of soft links pointing to data disk.
No ?
Please provide the exact layout and configuration details as possible.
Including commands used for creation of zpool (operating system where it was initially created and version and zfs properties).
Regards
Peasant.

zdb
zdb(1M) System Administration Commands zdb(1M)
NAME
zdb - ZFS debugger
SYNOPSIS
zdb pool
DESCRIPTION
The zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on
disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer.
If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems
detected.
Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 The pool is consistent.
1 An error was detected.
2 Invalid command line options were specified.
