Not only the formats are incompatible (or so it seems), the user space tools were renamed, too. So I do not only have to fix the raid arrays themselves, but also the init-scripts. One should not break semantics inside a stable kernel revision so thoroughly. Not even as a present to Red Hat... (SuSE 6.x still uses "mdadd v0.3d compiled for md raidtools-0.41").
Save this change for 2.4!
