While an array is active, it is 'dirty', as there could be parity blocks that are not correct (new data has hit disc but new parity block hasn't yet, or vice-versa). Whenever you do mdadm -D /dev/mdX you will always get "dirty", unless you have set it to --readonly first. If you shut the array down with mdadm -S /dev/md0 then ook at individual devices with, e.g. mdadm -E /dev/hda1 you will see that the array is clean.
