Hi Guido,
maybe it's because of this:

I see.
There is a problem with this though, we have howtos suggesting 64K for
the size of the freebsd-boot gpt partition:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1
now that size isn't sufficient anymore. We should at least update these
information soon.
I have always recommended using the largest possible size for the
bootcode partition, 512K. There is no reason to go with a smaller size,
the space savings are insignificant. It is safe to guess that bootcode
will never get smaller.
I also recommend starting the first real partition at 1M. This also is
frequently ignored.
Here are my instructions:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html
The wiki should be updated. Better yet, that section should be removed
and the corrected procedure shown in the Handbook.
Also repartitioning could be problematic in certain scenarios. I think
this change should be at least published in UPDATING and maybe also in
the future release notes for 11.0.
Personally I'll find a way of reorganizing my disks to fit this change,
but it's something that could byte users.
