One more thing: I have a udev rule so my SATA disks have the same kernel name when they are put in the same physical slot (I have 4 removable SATS disks bays). If you do not have this, sdd can become sde (and so on) after a swap. /var/log/messages tells what the inserted disk is known as. Perhaps it is as simple as that.
I am not a mdraid user, but I do follow the libata mailing list. Hotswap should work from an ATA level. As Roger says the default behavior is to assign the drive a new /dev/sdx name that will not correspond with the original name. I don't know what the fix is, but that is almost definitely the problem. FYI: If your just testing and you get the rebuild to work, make sure you test a reboot, because that will change the /dev/sdx value back to its original value.
