when?)

Witness this (after yet another fake disk crash):
%%%
vinum -> ls -v local.p0.s0
Subdisk local.p0.s0:
Size: 31457129472 bytes (29999 MB)
State: reviving
Plex local.p0 at offset 0 (0 B)
Reviver PID: 46863
Revive pointer: 22 GB (77%)
Revive blocksize: 64 kB
Revive interval: 0 seconds
Drive ren (/dev/ad6s1e) at offset 135680 (132 kB)
vinum -> vinum[46863]: local.p0.s0 is up
vinum -> checkparity local.p0.s0
local.p0.s0 is not a plex
vinum -> checkparity local.p0
Parity incorrect at offset 0x2020
vinum -> rebuildparity -V local.p0
Parity incorrect at offset 0x2020
Rebuilding at 2703 kB (0%) Parity incorrect at offset 0x2a6664
Rebuilding at 139 MB (0%)
%%%
which indicates that the parity surely is not correctly recalculated during
the revive.
Greg, can you tell me if this is correct behaviour?
