I'm fairly sure this is a known bug which is fixed in 3.1.3 which has just
been released in Debian (I think).

The problem is that mdadm tries to use /lib/init/rw which doesn't exist
during the initramfs stage.

If you repeat your experiment with init=/bin/sh, and
   mkdir -p /lib/init/rw
before starting udev, I think you will find that it works better.
If you could either confirm that, or confirm that 3.1.3 works, that would be
great.

3.1.3 uses /dev/.mdadm rather than /lib/init/rw.
