On one of the systems where I observe these problems the array was
indeed recreated; this is running set of old Maxtor MaXLine Plus II
7Y250M0 drives, and the rebuild was done to throw out some drives that
started growing number of reallocated sectors.
The two other systems have been running unmodified hardware-wise for
many months.

fsck shows no errors, a full backup shows no errors, and a number of
files I checked manually showed no corruption. I'm aware that this is
not a very reliable test.
