I was not running with AHCI, so I did not get the same messages; but I did get repeated WRITE_DMA timeouts on my da disks that eventually resulted in one disk being detached from the mirror. Cold booting was an arduous process because 9 boots of 10 the system would start sputtering out on DMA timeouts almost immediately after mounting the filesystems, and take well over 30 minutes just to get through rc. I changed cables, swapped the disks around, checked smartctl over and over to no avail. Eventually I bought a new rig and hooked it up to the original power supply - the problems persisted. I swapped in the new power supply and hey presto! the problems went away. You mentioned hardware failure in the original disk, so it might not be too far of a stretch to consider the power supply might also have suffered a failure.
