Yes, this seems suspicious.  It is also suspicious that some devices 
use 'p' ("partition"?) while others use 's' ("slice"?).  The 
partitions may be FreeBSD partitions or some other type that Solaris 
is not expecting.  FreeBSD can partition at a level visible to the 
BIOS and it can further sub-partition a FreeBSD partition for use in 
individual filesystems.

Regardless, I am very interested to hear if ZFS pools can really be 
transferred back and forth between Solaris and FreeBSD.
