Just hacking it.

Each ZFS device which is part of the pool tracks all other devices which are part of the pool with their sizes, device ids, last known points. It doesn't know that /tmp/sparsefile[12].img is part of the pool, yet it does know that pool have had some /tmp/sparsefile[12].img before and now they can't be found or current contents doesn't look like ZFS device.

Can you try moving current files to /tmp/sparsefile[34].img and then readd them to the pool with zpool replace? One by one please.
