ZFS v28 array doesn't expand with larger disks in mirror

I have an admittedly odd zfs v28 array configuration under stable/8 r223484:
# zpool status storage
pool: storage
state: ONLINE
scan: resilvered 1.21T in 10h50m with 0 errors on Wed Jun 29 23:21:46 2011
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
storage ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad14 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad6 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad12 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad4 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad20 ONLINE 0 0 0
ad18 ONLINE 0 0 0
This was simply due to the need to expand the size of the original
raidz1 only array and constraints within the box. All drives in the
box _were_ 1.5TB. I had a drive in the mirror die this week, and I
had 2 spare 2TB drives on hand. So, I decided to replace both of the
1.5TB drives in the array with 2TB drives (and free up a little more
space on the box). However, after replacing both drives, the array
did not expand in size. It still acts as if the mirror contains 1.5TB
drives:
storage 6.28T 548G
raidz1 5.07T 399G
mirror 1.21T 150G
Is this normal behaviour? It was my understanding that zfs
automatically adapted to having additional drive space in vdevs.
