Obviating the NFS4 domain question at first / jumpstart boot

It used to be that one could forestall the

domain
         name (yes/no) ? [no] :

prompt at first boot after jumpstarting a host by touching /a/
etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain in the finish script. I've found that
lately (ie., Solaris 10u3 x86) this doesn't seem to work. I've found
a claim that this check has moved into the sysconfig framework and
that setting nfs4_domain=dynamic in the sysidcfg file (Sysids/e1000g0/
sysidcfg) will now accomplish this, but find that this doesn't work
for me either. The server has a recent recommended patch bundle, and
the jumpstart package tree is right off the u3 media.

Any thoughts on how to recover this functionality? It would be great
to once more have jumps run to completion without intervention.
