I cannot imagine why. Nothing you have listed show anything wrong
with md...
Maybe you were expecting
mdadm -X /dev/md100
to do something useful. Like -E, -X must be applied to a component
device. Try
mdadm -X /dev/sda1
To take this from the other end, why should -X apply to a component?
Since the components can and do change names, and you frequently mention
assembly by UUID, why aren't the component names determined from the
invariant array name when mdadm wants them, instead of having a user or
script check the array to get the components?
Between udev and dynamic reconfiguration when component names have
become less and less relevant, perhaps they can be less used in the future.
