Try this patch:

--- halt.dpkg-dist      2008-01-02 22:09:22.000000000 -0200
+++ halt        2007-09-23 18:36:16.000000000 -0300

-       hddown="-h"
+       hddown=""
        if grep -qs '^md.*active' /proc/mdstat
        then
                hddown=""



Does it change anything?

I have *never* heard of halt screwing up on a reboot, though.  Just on
shutdown, and that was with the old, broken kernel behaviour.  What kernel
are you using?
