I get these messages too on Debian Unstable, but since enabling the bitmaps on my devices, resyncing is so fast that I don't even notice it on booting.
Bitmaps are great, but the speed of the rebuild is not the problem. The box doesn't have hotswap bays, so I have to shut it down to replace a failed disk. If the array decides that it wasn't clean after the exchange I'm suddenly looking at a dead array. Yes, forcing assembly _should_ work but I'd rather have it shutdown cleanly in the first place.
