I want to resurect this discussion with a peculiar observation - the above mismatch was caused by GRUB.

I realized that my grub config contains a savedefault clause, which updates the file on the raw ext3 volume before any raid assembly has taken place. Executing grub-set-default from within a booted system (with a mounted assembled raid) resulted in the subsequent md check to return 0 mismatches.
this has been a long standing issue with grub 1.x hopefully some day grub 2 will be production ready and the issue will be forgoten (real md raid support for grub 2 was added in google SOC 2006).
