The uuid= I believe requires a link that udev creates when the device gets created and it scans it. That link may or may not be done when mdadm returns with 0 as that udev/link creating is not in the mdadm code path. So wait a second before you mount it. In reality it will probably happen much faster than 1sec. I think the specific udev rule doing it is in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and this happens after udev processes the event when the device shows up. the link will be in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ so if once the mdadm exists do a ls -l against that dir and then sleep a second and do it again something new will show up.
