Thanks for that. It seems strange though that the two disks, which are from the same manufacturer, same model, same firmware and similar batch/serial's behave differently.
I am also puzzled that the rpool disk appears to start at cylinder 0 and not 1. I did find this quote after googling for the CR6844090 at the best practices page http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide "The size of the replacements vdev, measured by usable sectors, must be the same or greater than the vdev being replaced. This can be confusing when whole disks are used because different models of disks may provide a different number of usable sectors. For example, if a pool was created with a "500 GByte" drive and you need to replace it with another "500 GByte" drive, then you may not be able to do so if the drives are not of the same make, model, and firmware revision. Consider planning ahead and reserving some space by creating a slice which is smaller than the whole disk instead of the whole disk. In Nevada, build 117, it might be possible to replace or attach a disk that is slight smaller than the other disks in a pool. This is CR 6844090.
