However I have just release mdadm 1.7.0 which supports --assemble --update=resync
which will cause an array to resync immediately after being assembling. This don't help you for an array with a root filesystem on it, but should do want you want for any other array.
Neil,
Thank you. I'll let you know if we have any problems with the resyncing.
