May be your shutdown script is doing "halt -h"? Halting the disk immediately without letting the RAID to settle to a clean state can be the cause?
I'm using Debian as well and my halt script has the fragment you posted. Besides, shouldn't the array be marked clean at this point:
md: stopping all md devices.
Apparently it isn't ... :
md: md0 still in use.
If someone thinks it might make a difference I could remove everything evms and create a "pure" md array with mdadm. (Directly on the disks or on partitions? Which partition type?) How does a "normal" shutdown look? Will try 2.6.16 and 2.6.15 now ... the boring part is that I have to wait for the resync to complete before the next test ...
