Reinhard, you may remember that on irc I asked you to try moving /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdrun aside and rebuilding your initramfs. Did you try this in the end ? (Please move it somewhere not under /usr/share/initramfs-tools/.)
My supposition is that it is this script which is causing the problem (for you at least). As far as I can tell, if it runs at a point when some but not all of the disks in the root raid are available, it will activate the raid in degraded mode. Then, later, when the remaining devices turn up, it is too late and the I-hope-race-proofed script (scripts/local-top/mdadm) runs but cannot fix it. So, if you have the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm then I think it should be safe and correct to move aside the mdrun script.
