I'm hardly able to do any diagnostics on that since the information I get is pretty limited. Basically, I created the array, xfs-formatted it, put it into fstab and mounted it - worked well. Umounting, remounting and everything worked as long as the array was running. After rebooting, the array seemed gone. I don't get any useful error messages, just an "XFS SB error" when trying to mount the array (which is not running at this time), and when I try to start the array (mdadm -R /dev/md0), I just get something like "/dev/md0 has no devices" (though the real behaviour and message changes differing with the kernel version used).
