Just my two cents.
Wouldn't have been wiser to partition the two disks with the same layout?
That is, create a 1049kB sdb1 (even if unused) and keep sda2+sdb2 and sda3+sdb3.
It would be more confusing for the administrator, and it would make easier
to exchange the roles of the disks in the future.
I would also suggestion to call sda+sdb3 as md3 as so on. There is no rule
that you must have md0, then md1, then md2; having just md2 and md3 would be
simpler.

Apart from this "good practice" considerations, I don't think to have
great suggestions for you about the grub2 problems.

Is the GPT sda1 correctly marked for boot?
