Well there is the names that people like to use (/dev/md/jeffadm) and names
that the kernel likes to use (md1, md2, md127).

When you use --examine, it tries to use the name that people might like.
When you use --detail --scan it primarily has access to the names the kernel
likes, so it used those.

Yes, that it weird.  I don't know how they came to be out of sync.

  mdadm --incremental --rebuild-map

will fix it..
