Looks reasonable.

From vinum(8):

           setupstate

                               When creating a multi-plex volume, assume that
                               the contents of all the plexes are consistent.
                               This is normally not the case, and correctly
                               you should use the init command to first bring
                               them to a consistent state.  In the case of
                               striped and concatenated plexes, however, it
                               does not normally cause problems to leave them
                               inconsistent: when using a volume for a file
                               system or a swap partition, the previous con-
                               tents of the disks are not of interest, so they
                               may be ignored.  If you want to take this risk,
                               use this keyword.  It will only apply to the
                               plexes defined immediately after the volume in
                               the configuration file.  If you add plexes to a
                               volume at a later time, you must integrate
                               them.

You can fix this with 'start mirror.p1.s0'.  You should also look at
the 'mirror' command.
