Yup. But I did find a final solution, eventually.

Take a survey of all your mdraid UUIDs. Reconcile it against your  
/etc/default/grub. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX should include rd.md.uuid={UUID} for  
all mdraid UUIDs. Add the missing ones there. Rerun /sbin/grub2-mkconfig to  
rebuild grub.cfg, updating the command line used to boot all installed  
kernels, and making sure that kernel upgrades get the updated command line  
from /etc/default/grub.
