Funny, we've observed similar strange behavior when putting MD devices
on iSCSI/SRP exports. We connect to the SCSI target and udev does lots
of crap assembling only 1/2 or even 0/2 devices. This is why we disable
all udev rules related to MD and do it by custom scripts.
In mdadm 3.2.6 a possible fix has been introduced.
Check: git log mdadm-3.2.5..mdadm-3.2.6

udev-rules: prevent systemd from mount devices before they are ready.

Does mdadm 3.2.6 solve this?
Cheers,
