I have created a patch for the initramfs-tools script as suggested by Ken in this comment:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/120375/comments/47

In order to apply it (as root), "cd /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts", "patch < initramfs-mdadm-assemble-scan.patch", then "update-initramfs -u".

With an initrd patched in this manner, I was able to disconnect either of my harddrives and still boot my server without manual intervention. The patch does not address the generous wait for the missing harddrive, so give it some time.
