As far as I understand the issue, this is exactly what should be
possible.

There is no such thing like "the right data" from a block device's
point of view. Both mirrors have "right data", since both got written
independently. Thus, somebody has to choose one mirror being the
"more right" one. This, of course, is in administrators hands.
However, if somebody did so, exactly the sync you described above
(union of the mapped data areas) must happen.
