And this has solved the problem. Smart now shows the following:

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

Device Model:     WDC WD10EZEX-00RKKA0
Serial Number:    WD-WCC1S3904840
LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 2b31a7e0e
Firmware Version: 80.00A80
User Capacity:    1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB]
Sector Sizes:     512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical
Device is:        In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]

Local Time is:    Fri May 30 01:56:57 2014 CEST

This raises the questions:
1) Is this a bug in LSI firmware?
2) Is this a bug in the Omnios mpt driver?
3) Is this a firmware bug in WD10EZEX?
