GEOM_PART: zvol/pond/xxx was automatically resized, every boot

I updated a system that was running a half year old head before that.
Now on every reboot I see messages like:

GEOM_PART: zvol/pond/raidz0 was automatically resized.
  Use `gpart commit zvol/pond/raidz0` to save changes or `gpart undo
zvol/pond/raidz0` to revert them

I have done "gpart commit", but on the next reboot I still see the same message.
That didn't happen with the older FreeBSD.

This is quite annoying as I have to do gpart commit after each reboot to make my
zvols usable.

To add some data:
> gpart show zvol/pond/raidz0
=>      63  10485697  zvol/pond/raidz0  MBR  (5.0G)
        63  10485697                    - free -  (5.0G)

The zvol actually has whole-disk ZFS on it, which uses zfsboot for booting.
In other words, the first block of the zvol is the first block of zfsboot binary.

Please advise.
Thank you.
