It's possible there are just a lot of problems with RAID right now, but this was RAID5, and since this was a pre-existing device, it was never in degraded mode.  I was also surprised to notice that the two devices I created during the install also did not appear to start in degraded mode (although they may have finished their re-sync before I noticed).
