Well... http://neil.brown.name/blog/20120615073245 tells me that the bug only happens if the array is NOT running on shutdown, as the array state gets overwritten from memory (which in that case has the non-running state).

So, the chance of this happening all by itself is pretty low. That said, Brown gives some good advice about saving the metadata yourself.
