I've not been able to find such information at the level of detail which
would explain whether I should expect this to fail, unfortunately (and I
have searched).
Because my
impression and that of another poster is that your drives are
sharing the same transfer logic, as if two IDE drives on the
same ribbon.

For example this guy noticed the exact same problem you are
seeing with a slightly different (one drive going offline)
cause:
If that's the same thing, though, it doesn't seem to be a literal "the
hardware can't handle this" issue, because the poster mentioned that the
same test worked when running Windows instead of Linux on the same box.
It does sound like perhaps the kernel version I was using just doesn't
quite handle this situation, and that newer versions of the kernel have
a rewritten version of the applicable code that could conceivably make a
difference. If (when) a disk hardware failure happens on one of these
machines again, I'll report if anything different happens with newer
kernels.
Thanks again!
