Yeah, that seems to be the problem. But it wasn't a problem until just a few weeks ago (April 2nd). The raid device has its own partition table, independant of the partition table on the component drives, so there really isn't any good reason (IMHO) to assume any correspondence between them.
And FWIW, this configuration has been working for at least a couple of years. I even wrote up a How-To page [1] for the wiki to describe the set-up.
