I found some further information on:

http://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/doc/appunti/linux/sa/raid

Which states that newer kernels assemble devices read-only and mark them
read-write once something is written to the device. This would make
sense; /dev/md1 (the problem device in my case) is the swap partition so
may well go some time without being written to.
