A well known reason for this behavior are bad blocks in device's BBL,

This feature generally shouldn't be used, because its implementation
is unfinished. Empty BBL's can be removed from every device by giving
"--update=no-bbl" option to mdadm on assemble, but before that you
must manually regenerate content for each block in BBL's and then
manually zero the lists in superblocks.
I endorse this opinion.  The BBL should never have been merged as-is.
Without a block reallocation system like a real hard drive, a BBL entry
simple drops redundancy on the block in question without any other
corrective action.

Completely, utterly, brain-dead.

At the very least, it should not be enabled by default on new arrays.
