I recreated the pool on the second disk as another single disk pool, performed zfs send -R … | zfs receive -F …

It works now just fine with the kernel that didn’t work with old pool so there must have been something seriously broken with the old pool. I also noticed the old pool kept repeatedly restarting the resilver operations when I tried to expand it into a mirror.

Case closed for now.
