I've answered these questions myself at the meantime (with a nice 
employee fo Sun Hamburg giving me the hint). For Google: during a 
reverse sync, neither side of the replication is allowed to have the 
zpool imported, because after the reverse sync finishes, SNDR enters 
replication mode. This renders reverse syncs useless for HA scenarios, 
switch primary & secondary instead.

Any input to the question will still be appreciated :-)
