Well, I must say: no. I haven't tried anything further. I've set up the  
production system a week or so ago
which runs Debian Etch with no modifications (kernel 2.6.18 I think, the  
debian one and a mdadm 2.5.6-9).
I didn't notice the problem while creating the raid but that doesn't mean  
anything as I didn't pay attention
and as I wrote earlier it isn't reliably reproducable.
(Watching it on a large storage gets boring very fast.)

I'm not a kernel programmer but I can test another kernel or mdadm version  
if it helps, but let me know
if you want me to do that.
