Acard Support's suggestion worked.  When I disconnected the two Master
drives, the Tiger installer ran flawlessly and quickly and installed
to the slave array.   When I reattached the Master drives the
corresponding volume worked fine with the new Tiger installation on
the Slave drives.

And -- the whole point of the exercise -- now whether I boot into OS9
or OSX, my mirrored arrays are both visible and accessible.   I don't
think any other RAID solution provides functionality across OS9 and
OSX for the same array.

The solution is a little kludgy, but should only be needed when one is
installing a new OS (perhaps only Tiger?).  So, I wish that the 6880M
didn't have this problem, but it seems fairly easy to work around.
