This issue that will be fixed in 1.9.0 has nothing to do with creating the array. It is only relevant for stacked arrays (e.g. a raid0 made out of 2 or more raid1 arrays), and only if you are using mdadm --assemble --scan (or similar) to assemble your arrays, and you specify the devices to scan in mdadm.conf as DEVICES partitions (i.e. don't list actual devices, just say to get them from the list of known partitions). So, no: no need for a custom bootcd.
