I am running into the same issue with LVM, using the entire raid device, and using a single plain disk... I must be doing something wrong here.

You are.

You are trying to attach a cache device directly to a backing device. That won't work.

When you register the devices, do :
ls /sys/fs/bcache/

You will see a directory name in there. That is the UUID of the "cache-set" you need to attach to your backing device. It is different from the cache device itself.
