When you un-mirrored, do you expect to be able to reboot from the removed disk? This is not the case. If you did something like:-
... and then pulled it, then hdisk1 is empty if the reducevg completes.
It seems counter intuitive, but assuming that the two disks were completely mirrored and bootable, you would have been safer to shutdown, pull the disk, boot. That way, if you need to, you could have forced the boot via SMS to start from the disk you pulled out.
If hd5 is not on hdisk0, this would suggest that it was only on hdisk1. The unmirror will not move LVs that are not mirrored. This would mean that you could not take hdisk1 out the VG of course, so that would suggest that something was wrong at that point.
Before we panic too much. Are you happy that you have recent mksysb media to recover with?
