I have a pool that is experiencing the same problem (currently at version 26).  
I've been able to remove zil devices from it before but at some point they 
become "stuck".  The zpool remove command completes with no error, but the 
device is never really removed and remains in the pool. 
zpool iostat will show no activity to the device however, and the alloc column 
shows 16.0E.  It is possible to do a zpool replace on the device, but the 
replacing device will end up in the same state (unusable and unable to be 
removed).

I've also tried replacing and removing the replacing device with no luck. I'm 
able to remove the zeusRAM without issue which seems rather puzzling.
