This looks wrong. mdadm should be looking for the container as listed in
mdadm.conf and it should find a matching uuid on sda and sdb, but it doesn't.

Can you:

mdadm -E /dev/sda /dev/sdb ; cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

so I can compare the uuids?

Sure.

Yes, the uuids are definitely all correct.
This really should work.  I just tested a similar config and it worked
exactly as exported.
Weird.

Whatever version of mdadm are you running???
Can you try getting the latest (3.1.4) from
     http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/

and see how that works.
Just
    make
    ./mdadm -Asvv
