Ok narrowed down the issue, looks like cache file generation is where 
the issue is, possibly a race condition.

If you run the following then rerun your zdb I suspect you'll get the 
right results (ashift: 12)
zpool set cachefile='' <pool>

Alternatively you can run the following to display real pool config vs 
that which is in the cache file:
zdb -C <pool>
