how do I get rid of bogus "dump"?

Recently, a HDD quit working. Both its freebsd-zfs partition and its freebsd-swap partition were parts of mirrors. I replaced the drive.
The new drive has the same ada drive number as the drive that failed.
I removed the old drive's p3 (d0zfs) from its zfs/mirror and added the
new drive's p3 (d2zfs). It resilvered.
I didn't remember or think that maybe something similar needed to be
done to the gmirror swap partition, because, hey, it's swap space and I
was rebooting.
When the system boots up, I now get the alert:
Nov 21 09:05:42 savecore[833]: unknown version (1) in last dump header on /dev/mirror/swap1
What's a good way to clear that?
Additional notes:
* savecore -C repeats the warning.
* savecore -c repeats the warning, adds "no dumps found", and does not
fix the problem.
Various ideas have come to mind:
1) try just gmirror remove and gmirror insert;
2) try gmirror remove, dd zero the partition, then gmirror insert;
and
3) fill up RAM+swap virtual memory space in order to overwrite whatever
it is.
I don't have a lot of confidence in any of those approaches, though.
What would you recommend? Thanks!
