I have faced some problems that looks exactly like you say. I haven't investigated thoroughly after some quick-hack-repairs machine runs flawlessly.

1. I have moved to RELENG_8 from RELENG_8_0. I don't think this is it but zfsloader support was what I was looking for.

2. I reinitialised zfs partitions again with a boot code. But this time I used bs=512 dd option.

3. I recreated zpool.cache and replaced it on my pool.

Actually I don't know which one helped me, but my bet is for the third step and maybe for second.
