Strangely this line is unique.  Every other device has:

Where do those "'"s come from???

What exactly is listed in mdadm.conf for /dev/md0??


Other than that everything looks OK.  The array hasn't been marked as
having a bitmap, but the bitmap seems to have been created correctly,
but not activated yet.

And you didn't provide the output of
   mdadm --assemble -vvv ....

That really should explain what is happening.
