Ouch, auto-detect does not work with metadata 1.2.
Please read the man-page section:
===
--auto-detect
Request that the kernel starts any auto-detected arrays. This can only
work if md is compiled into the kernel - not if it is a module. Arrays
can be auto-detected by the kernel if all the components are in
primary MS-DOS partitions with partition type FD, and all use v0.90
metadata. In-kernel autodetect is not recommended for new
installations. Using mdadm to detect and assemble arrays - possibly in
an initrd - is substantially more flexible and should be preferred.

Please rebuild the raid-device using v0.90 metadata and try again.
