That's what I get for overloading the single-letter args. Bother --wait and --write-mostly can be given as -W, and mdadm doesn't distinguish between those three internally. So mdadm /dev/md12 -wait chooses MANAGE mode and the --wait is treated like --write-mostly, and as you haven't given any drives to add in write-mostly mode, it doesn't nothing. I probably should fix that one day.
