Sorry for being unclear...
After an unclean shutdown, my raid always rebuilds, and the filesystem never
replays the journal. I just does not see that it was not properly
unmounted.

That is certainly odd.  Are you sure that is what is happening?
There are two ways that the journal can be replayed:
   1/ fsck can replay it or
   2/ ext3 in the kernel can replay it.

The former will not appear in any logs and will only be seen if you
watch the boot-time messages go past.  The latter will cause a kernel
message to be logged.

Were you watching for fsck messages, or only looking in logs?
