Interesting, I've just filed 6569720 for this behaviour - thanks for
spotting this! Regardless of whether ZFS supports this, we definitely
shouldn't core dump.

Yep it does - it needs to mark the pool as being in use and no longer
exported. I think this is done by changing the pool state nvpair in
the vdev_label (if I'm not mistaken - section 1.3.3 in the on-disk
format document covers this.)
cheers,
