Does anyone know of a bug that

DOS/MBR format partition tables (which is what fdisk uses by default)
have a 2TB limit... workaround: don't use a partition table, use GPT
instead of MBR...
In addition there are limits on the size of ext2/3 on 32 bit kernels.
however, none of these should kick in going from 1TB to 1.5TB.
you really should use resize2fs, not just tinkering with the partition
table to do the resize.

I generally never use a partition table on RAID devices - partition
tables can also cause stripe alignment issues with RAID5/6 unless
you're careful to layout the disk properly.
