This whole attack is possible but is not undetectable. The pool miners will know they are not working on the main chain. However, most of the miners will have no idea and the miner programs will not print it automatically.

The hash of the previous block is contained in the getwork data returned to the miners. If the miner program does the getwork to the local copy of the bitcoin daemon, it can compare the hashes and print warning. It happens occasionally though (some accidental chain forks), however if it happens twice in a row (chain fork differs by two blocks), it is very unlikely by accident and very likely by an attack. It does not seem to be very difficult to program into the miners as an option to print warning and better yet to switch to another pool if it is happening. If large enough number of pool miners switched, the attack would be prevented.
