What branch did you switch from, and what tag do you have in your supfile for the -stable branch?

You mentioned 8.0-STABLE above, but you mention 8.2-RELEASE for dmesg. If you did in fact switch from 8.2-RELEASE to 8.0-STABLE, you downgraded your system. Depending on what ZFS version you were using (v15 was the default in 8.2-RELEASE), the zpool may not be usable by older ZFS versions (the default in 8.0-STABLE was v13 when it was branched from HEAD).
