If you have a backup, you can try destroying the label on the disk you’re adding. I think its likely that zpool is seeing the ZFS label or other data on the drive and trying to be paranoid to prevent you from clobbering useful data on the drive. dd from /dev/zero to the drive can clear that up (but again, make sure you have a backup in case something goes wrong!)
