Is it possible that the USB drive is being enumerated before the disk

No, the fedora installer really doesn't like /boot on RAID. Must be a
wicked problem, because people have complained loudly for a while now
about this bug.
The nice thing about software RAID1 is that you can let grub read
/dev/sda1 as if it were a normal partition (instead of a member of the
raid group), since all the raid metadata is at the end of the device.
Then once you boot, you can re-sync (if needed).
Now since I am back about 98%.
The fist upgrade I think I inadvertently selected /dev/sda. In any case
in then next few cases the installer failed (both on upgrade and fresh
install) with a message that the system may not boot.
The solution is as you mention. I unraided the /boot partition. Now
everything works ok. What I might possibly do is to place a duplicate
/boot on /dev/sdb, but that is a low priority.
Once I was able to boot, then I was not able to log in on Gnome3, but
that was probably the customizations I added,
My backup procedure completely backs up /etc, home, and /usr/local.
