Supporting this sort of usage seemed like a good idea long long ago, but=20
it doesn't turn out to be really useful, so I haven't maintained it at all.

I think it is an mdadm bug.  I don't see a mention of mdadm version number
(but I didn't look very hard).
If you are using 3.3, update to at least 3.3.1

(just
  cd /tmp
  git clone git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
  cd mdadm
  make
  ./mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md127 .....
)
