They aren't being rebuilt, they are being checked if the data on the RAID disks are consistent. There are various reasons why mismatch_cnt can be higher than 0, for example aborted writes. Generally it's not really something to be worried about if you have for example a swap partition in your RAID array. If you do a repair and then a check the mismatch_cnt should reset to 0.

I don't think so, this is a feature, not a bug... And as long as it's shipped with upstream it'll be shipped with CentOS.
