Ahhh.. I know that bug.  If you "git pull; make" it should go away.

However the bug happens when printing an error message, so it won't make
things actually work.

It seems that it is failing to write a superblock to /dev/sde3.
I wonder why.
Maybe if you run it under strace:
   strace -o /tmp/str ./mdadm -C .....

then post the "/tmp/str" file.
