I can confirm that checkarray is broken out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 16.04 due to this issue. So, periodic checks of the RAID array don't happen unless I do my own scheduling and avoid checkarray, or else repair checkarray itself using one of the workarounds here...
I changed my checkarray script to explicitly use bash, but next time I upgrade this package, the changes will be lost unless this gets fixed... My change to use bash instead made checkarray start doing something useful...

The suggest at https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 787950 to use cat instead of read is a good one, and only a one-line change. (Preferably without waiting for Debian upstream to fix it?)
