I Too have seen this problem.

I had done a zfs send from my main pool "terra" (6 disk raidz on seagate 1TB drives) to a mirror pair of WD Green 1TB drives. ZFS send was successful, however i noticed the pool was degraded after a while (~1 week) with one of the mirror disks constantly re- silvering (40 TB resilvered on a 1TB disk) something was fishy.

I removed the disk that was getting the re-silver and replaced it with another WD Green 1TB (factory new) and added it as a mirror to the pool again it re-silvered successfully. i performed a scrub the next day (couple of reboots etc) and it started re-silvering the replaced drive.

I still had most of the data in the original pool, i performed a md5sum against some of the original files (~20GB files) and the ex- mirror copy and the md5 sums came back the same.

This doesn't test much; ZFS will use whichever side of the mirror is good.

I have since blown away the ex-mirror and re-created the zpool mirror and copied the data back.
