I also experienced the same problem with a IMSM RAID 1.  I believe that
the problem is essentially identical to the gentoo problem which was
noted earlier.  I put in the following workaround which seems to work
(on a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 with mdadm version 3.2.5).  At
least, I have not seen a resync on boot since putting this in this fix.

1.  Edit /etc/init.d/sendsigs (to prevent mdmon from being killed on shutdown):
        OMITPIDS=`pidof mdmon | sed -e 's/ /,/g' -e 's/./-o \0'`

2.  Edit /etc/init.d/umountroot (to force the system to wait for the
RAID to be clean before shutdown):

##########################
#FIRST:  Add the following function:
check_raid() {
        log_action_begin_msg “Checking RAIDs ”
        if mdadm --wait-clean --scan ; then
                log_action_end_msg 0
        else
                log_action_end_msg 1
        fi
}

#SECOND: change the call to do_stop:
#stop)
#       do_stop
#       ;;

stop)
        check_raid
        do_stop
        check_raid
        ;;
##########################

It isn't clear that check_raid has to be called both before and after
do_stop (probably after will work fine, but I didn't test it).
