I've gotten this issue after reordering the SATA ports my devices are plugged into. The MD-device assembles fine on a Live CD and using the steps in #4 in a chroot on the Live CD got the system booting again, but only after having the error reported in the original issue repeated three or four times:

>incrementally starting raid arrays
mdadm: Create user root not found
mdadm: create group disk not found
incrementally started raid arrays

So the machine now takes about 5 minutes to boot instead of 10s.
