Curious, neither can I (8.1-RELEASE):

Additional devices are known to be part of this pool, though their
exact configuration cannot be determined.

'zpool create' starts over from scratch, and will destroy all data on
the target devices; thus, it warns you if it detects that they are part
of an old pool. You must tell it that you intend to obliterate the old
pool to create a fresh new one. This is intentional.
