The line:

 UDEV  [7083.531441] add      /devices/virtual/block/md0 (block)

confirms that udev saw an 'add' event for /dev/md0.

That should be enough for udev to create the device node.
If it doesn't, you need to look into udev and find out why it doesn't.
I can't really help you there - I don't find udev very easy to debug.
