We'll give that a try.
In addition, error message output:

Again, it sure looks like a hardware problem, but using x86 Solaris 10
on the same disk works perfectly.

I have seen errors such as this too with some cheap no name software
RAID cards. I've also seen it on high end SCSI drives as they do the
bad block remapping. I'm not saying it's not hardware, especially given
that it specifically mentions sda sector 504029, but it's worth a shot.
Solaris might not be reporting the disk remappings or some such thing,
who knows. Perhaps it's only doing a quick format and not a full format
therefore not even displaying the messages until content begins to be
written.
