This problem still exists in Gutsy Gibbon.

It is, indeed, most frustrating.  Even after I manually created and
formatted the raid1 partition (ext3), ubiquity still refuses to
recognize them.  Instead, its partitioner misidentifies both of the
mirrors as plain ext3 partitions.

I had to apt-get the mdadm utility.  Then I did this:

mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
modprobe raid1
mdadm -v -C /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb7
mke2fs -j /dev/md0

It all worked fine.  But it made no difference to ubiquity.  The
"install" link on the desktop (ubiquity) still refused to recognize the
md0 device at the partitioning step.
