The first 2 problems aren't real problems (modify /etc/fstab, perhaps a
special ioctl could be added to raid and fsck stops the reconstruction)
- at most anoying, but clearly no bugs.

But the third one could be a bug:

Can you boot without the raid-1 volume?
Run top/vmstat during the fsck+reconstruction - I assume the system runs
out of memory and bdflush/kswapd are looping.
