The host was fine so we simply fixed the hardware failure, recreated the zpool and zfs, set the correct trusted.glusterfs.volume-id, restarted the gluster daemons on the host and the heal got to work.  The version running is 3.7.4 atop Ubuntu Trusty.

This is a known issue. For files,  we update the atime and mtime on the 
healed brick after the data self-heal is over. For directories, we are 
currently not doing the same after entry self-heal. We could update the 
a/m time for directories too. Could you raise a bug for this? For ctime 
I don't think it is possible to 'set' it a given value in linux via 
utimes() or any other syscall.
