What should I do to find the cause?

Additional information:

Both the original 2TB drives as well as the new 3TB drives were GPT
formatted with partition type FD00

This is information about the currently shrunk array:


# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Version : 0.90

Why is your raid metadata using this old version? mdadm-3.2.2-6.fc15 will not create this version of raid array by default. There is a reason we have updated to a new superblock. Does this problem still occur if you use a newer superblock format (one of the version 1.x versions)?

Creation Time : Wed Feb 8 23:22:15 2006
Raid Level : raid5
Array Size : 4696690944 (4479.11 GiB 4809.41 GB)
Used Dev Size : 782781824 (746.52 GiB 801.57 GB)

This looks like some sort of sector count wrap, which might be related to version 0.90 superblock usage. 3TB - 2.2TB (roughly the wrap point) = 800GB, which is precisely how much of each device you are using to create a 4.8TB array.
