That was a mistake.

As you discovered, that doesn't work. I'd like to make it possible to do
something like that, but time is not something I have a lot of.

It shouldn't make things worse.
Do don't need to reboot, unless md5 has your root filesystem.
Just unmount, 'mdadm -S /dev/md5', and assemble:
mdadm -A /dev/md5 --backup-file=/whereever-you-copied-the-file-to \
/dev/sd[dfcbhljgk]1
should do it.
