Hm, I think I did that (at least for the beginning part).
Maybe I was not quite clear what I did below: I removed and re-attached
the *same* disk which was labelled with glabel and running fine brefore.
The label was there when I inserted it back, but zfs went for the da
device node anyway.
If I see this problem again, I will try to wipe the complete disk before
re-inserting it.
