Not sure, if that's the whole story:
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=d2fff1ced447c09c6601a6617300467ccd81660b

The current rules always marked all MD partitions as inactive, which
does not sound right. We are not even sure if the partitions would
ever get a change event later.

Please try if that makes things better, as said, there might be more
needed than that.

Thanks,
