To follow up here, it's actually an MD problem.  The following
userspace commands are enough to trigger the NULL pointer deref:

  mdadm --create --run test --level raid1 --raid-devices 2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
  wipefs -a --force /dev/md/test
  mke2fs -t ext4 -F /dev/md/test

There's a full log attached to this comment:
