Do you have ECC RAM?  If not, it's possible this is an artifact of some RAM
corruption, rather than on-disk corruption.

I'm surprised by the slow scrub, though they are very slow disks.  You might
like to use gstat or zpool iostat to see if one of the disks is slower than
the others - indicating a possible problem with it.
