Well, it's certainly something you have to deal with. You have to tell
the RAID driver you added a component to the system. Ideally mdadm or
udev should take care of that, but I'm not sure it's all there yet.
In any case, it's a new device so, while inconvenient for some
scenarios, I think it is best to represent a new device with a new
device node. Various entities are still probably holding references to
the old device, and you don't want the system to think that you plugged
in the _same_ device again.
