A painful 14 hours later, I have a solution.

Put in a sleep in the /usr/shared/initramfs/.../local-top/mdadm and
mdrun files.

Why?

Because the overly agresive scripts which tune the bootup time to be
super fast don't bother to way for the SATA bus to stabilize. They have
a check to see if the ROOT device exists (and they do sleep), but it's
not working because my ROOT device is a RAID device... and mdadm will
make /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 even if it can't find the sda/sdb constituents.

Sloppy programming angers me.
