but does anyone know of any way of fixing this corruption short of
destroying the pool, creating a new one, and restoring from backup?  Is
there some way of exporting and re-importing the pool that has the
side-effect of doing some kind of fsck-like repairing of subtle corruption
like this?

What disk model are you using and what controller?

Are you using port multipliers and are there known issues with your hardware
combination?
