Various people suggest wiping the superblocks and re-creating the
array. Is this the best option?

Do not do this, since you were reshaping it'll break "everything".

Phew. Dodged a bullet there - thanks!

You didn't provide what version of kernel and mdadm you were using, I
suggest trying with 3.1.2 or newer at least, 3.1.3 preferrably.

I'm running mdadm 2.6.7.1 on 2.6.32 (Ubuntu lucid during recovery) -
and the array was used before with 2.6.7.2-3 on 2.6.26 (Debian
Stable); all 64 bit.

I'll start by getting the recommended version, then try to re-assemble?
