The disk itself doesn't appear to know about any failures (using smartctl), and it works again when hotadded to the raidset. I've also had a multiple drive "failure" twice, both times with two drives using the same IDE channel.
Using more than one drive on an IDE channel is considered risky by many. If a drive fails, it's likely to bring down the entire channel.
In any case, don't put more than one drive of an array on the same channel.
