We have successfully recovered Solaris <--> Linux. It was a test we ran a while back and I can't remember for sure in which direction, but it definitely worked. I can't say that file permissions, etc., were all perfectly preserved, but the data was there, FWIW.

Maybe it was a case of "possible but not supported"... ?

What if you used scanner and did a raw recover using 'uasm'? I bet that would work?
