"Funny" behavior of zpool import : can mount on top of /

Hello list,

Just something that makes my system crash when I'm too tired :

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=1M count=512
# mdconfig -a -f /tmp/image
# newfs /dev/md0
# mount /dev/md0 /
mount: /dev/md0 : Invalid argument

Ok, this error is expected... but now :

# zpool create -R /mnt test md0
# zpool export test
# zpool import test

Shit happens...

Of course, "zpool import -R /mnt test" is ok.

Btw, I'm using a fresh FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT amd64 with zpool and zfs version 13.

Cheers
