Thanks.  And just as well I tested as there was another problem.
I think it is all fixed now.
If you:

 cd /tmp
 git clone git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
 cd mdadm
 make
 ./mdadm -A /dev/md124 --force -vvvv /dev/md/{alpha,beta,gamma}

it should assemble the array and continue the reshape.

When it finishes it will leave the array as degraded RAID4.
Simply:
  mdadm /dev/md125 --grow --level=3D0

and it will instantly become RAID0.
