I don't have quite as much experience with mdadm and RAID as John does, 
but I've run into what you describe here before.

After I modify the mdadm.conf file, I've always had to re-build my 
initial RAM disk image for the changes to take effect across re-boots. 
It seems the contents of the file are baked-in to the image.  This is on 
Fedora - not sure if it will behave the same way on your distro, but I'm 
guessing it will.
