This could explain it. However, it seems that zfs sticks to the da device
once it changed it's mind. Meanwhile I discovered one more system where is
obviously has happened (although I cannot say when:

luna# zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME              STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank              ONLINE       0     0     0
          raidz1          ONLINE       0     0     0
            label/disk-1  ONLINE       0     0     0

            label/disk-3  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

Yeah, I just have to look into how gpt labels work. I did not use them at
all up to now.
