Thanks for the report, but this was an intended change:

* Tue Feb 17 2009 mmarek@suse.cz
- disable auto-assemly in boot.md completely as it can collide with
  dmraid (bnc#474652). If someone wants to auto-assemble md arrays
  in the rescue system, they can run
  'mdadm -Es -c partitions >mdadm.conf && mdadm -As -c mdadm.conf'
  manually.

One can't make everybody happy, sorry.
