I like 1.2, I feel it's least likely to suffer collateral damage, and the problems it causes seem to result in the type of behavior you mention aboue, the system says "Can't, won't, you don't know what you're doing."
What about adding a new v1.3 superblock which basically has 4 superblocks, an old 1.x superblock residing at <end>-<v1.0 superblock size> (new location), and then pointers to this block residing where 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 superblocks would normally be? Wouldn't that solve "everybodys" problem by making it easier to find the superblock regardless of what might have happened (drive size changed because of 3ware, someone installed mbr on the drive etc).
