I cannot imagine why.  Nothing you have listed show anything wrong
with md...

Maybe you were expecting
  mdadm -X /dev/md100
to do something useful.  Like -E, -X must be applied to a component
device.  Try
  mdadm -X /dev/sda1

To take this from the other end, why should -X apply to a component? Since the components can and do change names, and you frequently mention assembly by UUID, why aren't the component names determined from the invariant array name when mdadm wants them, instead of having a user or script check the array to get the components?

Between udev and dynamic reconfiguration when component names have become less and less relevant, perhaps they can be less used in the future.
