Many ioctl operations have been disabled on disk partitions and logical volumes because they can affect the whole disk. (This problem is designated CVE-2011-4127.) It is supposed to be possible to assign a partition or LV to some user without letting them access any other part of the disk. Operations that fail due to this new restriction are logged so that if this breaks some program it is easy to see which operation it was attempting. But if mdadm continues to work properly, don't worry about it.
