Searching, I found out that latest release is 2.6.4 - but no option in ubuntu repository (yet?).

I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 2.6.4
Does some of the following changes applies to our bug?
Changes Prior to 2.6.4 release
- Make "--create --auto=mdp" work for non-standard device names.
- Fix restarting of a 'reshape' if it was stopped in the middle.
- Fix a segfault when using v1 superblock.
- Make --write-mostly effective when re-adding a device to an array.
- Various minor fixes
Changes Prior to 2.6.3 release
- allow --write-behind to be set for --grow.
- When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap
space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when
1.x array was created with older mdadm).
- When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get
the correct error message.
- Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region
of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the
reshape, it gives an error message.
- Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent superblocks.
- Various manpage updates.
- Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor)
- Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a
- Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x
metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed
with --examine --brief
- Fix spare migration in --monitor.
Changes Prior to 2.6.2 release
- --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
remove devices that are no longer physically present.
- --export option for --detail or present information in a format
that can be processed by udev.
- fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata.
- --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager.
- Various manpage updates.
- Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work.
- --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect.
- Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable. Missing
devices as well as failed devices cause an error.
