If you refer to --update=byteorder, the documentation says it is only for v0.90 metadata. Also it's only the super_offset field so far, other fields like
magic are correct.

There are patches in this side to correctly handle endian:

1345921393ba md: fix incorrect use of lexx_to_cpu in does_sb_need_changing 3fb632e40d76 md: fix super_offset endianness in super_1_rdev_size_change

probably we should make these into -stable tree, but I never got reports on
this side. can you try?

That likely is the problem, it was kernel 4.10.2 that was used when the array was expanded. Yes, this should really get backported. And something like "byteorder2" for mdadm to make it easier for people with such arrays to fix that would be awesome.

After changing the sb_offset and csum fields (and UUID, to avoid bad resync from the old member on sda2) and writing the sectors back my array now works again.
