thank you for the update. I'll close out this bug for now, but feel free to add a comment to it later if you experience the issue again.

I may have misunderstood you. The disks mount on Ubuntu Linux without a fsck. If you mean, do they mount in FreeNAS after performing a fsck in Linux, I don't know. I am reluctant to try until I have completed copying everything over to FreeNAS.

They mount without performing a fsck.
My original NAS was Ubuntu 1310 + Samba. That's where these 2 drives came from. I removed all the drives apart from these two, then added in and booted from the boot HDD from that original NAS, and the drives auto mounted on startup as I had configured them to do so long ago (I cannot remember how).
Now I have loaded up my original NAS again, I was able to copy off the required data, so there's no urgency for me any more. But I am still happy to help with this bug if I can. I cannot risk losing the data on the drives yet though (still copying from my PC to FreeNAS, so these two drives are my only backups of some data), which may limit what I can do for the moment. Hoping to be finished in a day or two.

does the disk mount after performing the fsck from a Linux system?

Attached as requested. If the timestamps look odd, it's because I changed the timezone to London.
I have additional information. I have a monitor currently hooked up to the FreeNAS box. It was off, so I did not notice until now that it output additional error information when I attempted the import - information that the Web GUI did not show:
Same error for ada4s1, but with different expected checksum.
Also forgot to mention - the ext4 disks were software raid, not hardware. Done in Ubuntu in 2013 (version 12.x or 13.x I think)
My newly built FreeNAS box has a pair of new disks formatted as ZFS, and a pair of older disks from my previous home-made NAS (Ubuntu + Samba) that were ext4 formatted and mounted together as raid10 (yes, 10. Should have been 1).
FreeNAS detects both disks, as /dev/ada3 and /dev/ada4
When I go to Storage -> Import Disk, it gives me the option of importing from \dev\ada3s1 or \dev\ada4s1. I have tried both. I pick the ext2fs option for filesystem type as that's the closest.
It then fails with a Traceback error. I was advised on the forum to raise this as a bug. Error details:
