Damn. I saw your initial mail, but I was out and nowhere near a device I could use to reply sensibly. You should *really* check by looking at the mdadm --examine output and calculating the position of the sectors in question to be absolutely sure the area you just wrote over was not in the active array area. If it was then you should stop the checkarray *now* and come back for advice.
Thanks Brad, no worries, really appreciate your attention. I stopped checkarray. It had one rebuild event (Rebuild99) in /dev/md0 (small RAID1, where /boot is mounted) before I stopped it. Here's the examine output (not really sure what to do with it, will wait for advice):
