zpool export/import on failover - The pool metadata is corrupted

Hello list,

I have two-head ZFS setup with external disk enclosure over SAS expander.
This is a failover setup with CARP and devd triggering spool export/import.
One of two nodes is preferred master.

Then master is rebooted, devd kicks in as of CARP becomes master and the second node picks up ZFS-disks from external enclosure.
Then master comes back, CARP becomes master, devd kicks in and pool gets exported from the second node and imported on the first one.

However, I have experienced metadata corruption several times with this setup.
Note, that ZIL(mirrored) resides on external enclosure. Only L2ARC is both local and external - da1,da2, da13s2, da14s2

root at nfs2:/root # zpool import
   pool: jbod
     id: 17635654860276652744
  state: FAULTED
 status: The pool metadata is corrupted.
 action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.

Any ideas what is going on?
