I have a similar problem on a live system. I installed jessie and later set up RAID1, making sure to install grub on both drives. I can boot fine with both disks installed. When I powerdown and remove a single drive boot will fail after a few seconds.
By removing the quiet and splash params from the boot line I can confirm the "running /scripts/local-block" messages. Avter the rootdelay timeout I get a (initramfs): prompt. At this prompt I can run "mdadm --run /dev/md127" then "exit" and the system boots. Better would be to have a message stating that the raid is degraded, and allow to boot it as such.
