I haven't rebooted yet, but here's my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-mdadm.rules
file (BTW - running on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy):

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add|change",
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="linux_raid*", RUN+="watershed -i udev-mdadm
/sbin/mdadm -As -v > /var/log/mdadm-$$ 2>&1"

# This next line (only) is put into the initramfs,
#  where we run a strange script to activate only some of the arrays
#  as configured, instead of mdadm -As:
#initramfs# SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add|change",
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="linux_raid*", RUN+="watershed -i udev-mdadm
/scripts/local-top/mdadm from-udev"


Could that initramfs line be causing the problem?
