I've been having the same problems, and it appears to be from a remote monitoring app that calls zpool status and/or zfs list. I've also found problems with PERC and I'm finally replacing the PERC cards with SAS5/E controllers (which are much cheaper anyway). Every time I reboot, the PERC tells me about a foreign import required so the PERC cards and ZFS just don't go together...
