I don't know anything about ZFS.  That said, it's *conceivable* that
your / ownership has been broken this entire time, and you never noticed
until now.  Either because you never ran "who", or because systemd in
buster didn't check the parent directory ownerships, but the one in
bullseye does.

Food for thought.

(It's not clear to me how setting up ZFS on / would involve your
unprivileged username, though.  Sounds more like a "boot from rescue
media and do everything in a root shell" sort of job.  So I'm more
inclined to think the damage was done by some sort of backup/recovery
gone wrong, as previously speculated.)
