Well, I've tried moving my ZFS partitions back from the end of the disks
(one half of the mirror at a time) and I zeroed the free space until the
end of the disk. I'm no longer seeing this problem when device paths
are renumbered.

That looks like the same issue to me - ad4 became ada0 - but Christoph
said that the zpool had been created from the installer.
The installer usually uses a (msdos) partition as a ZFS physical volume?
So perhaps it should have tried to attach /deve/ada0s[0-9] here, but
mistakenly attached /dev/ada0 because it saw the disklabel (with correct
guid) near the end of the disk?
