Indeed, even in snv_117 the zpool man page says that. But the
console/dmesg message was also quite clear, so go figure whom
to trust (or fear) more ;)
The FMA message is consistent with the man page.
The man page seems to not mention the critical part of the FMA msg that OP is
worried about.
OP said that his motivation for clearing the errors and fearing the degraded
state was because he feared this:

he doesn't want his dd'd new device kicked out of the vdev and replaced by a
hot spare (if avaialable) due to the number of errors and the scarlet letter
of "degraded" at the device level - I don't think he cares about the pool
level degraded status since it doesn't "do" anything.
