I finally got this to work, but it did not happen automatically. I needed to 
export then re-import the pool to get it to work. Only then did the additional 
space appear.

Here is what I did:
- create 4 x 8GB disks and 1 x 4 GB disks
- create RAIDZ pool with 3 x 8GB disks & 1 x 4GB
- ignore warning about wasted space
- end up with pool of 12GB usable (4 x 4GB less 4GB parity)
- replace 4GB disk with 8GB disk
- check pool stats and note that it still has 12GB usable space
- export pool (use defaults)
- import pool (use defaults)
- check pool stats and note that usable space is now 24GB 

Is there a way to skip the export/import?? Downtime for a home NAS is not 
really that big an issue ... but if you can do it, I would like to know how.
