From irc:
13:18 < psusi> jdstrand: when you boot with one disk, you get the warning abut
               being degraded and are given 15 seconds to abort activating
               degraded or not, right?
13:19 < jdstrand> psusi: I don't see a warning cause of plymouth, but there is
                  a pause yes
13:23 < psusi> jdstrand: can you boot with nosplash and noquiet boot options to
               disable that? after plugging both disks back in, the udev
               script tries to do an incremental build when it detects each
               disk. That should fail for both disks, then eventually after a
               timeout, the fallback script should try to do the degraded
               activate... at that point only one disk should be activated and
               the other ignored
13:31 < jdstrand> psusi: I didn't get to grub in time, but after a long pause
                  it flashed a screen at me very clearly stating I am booting
                  in degraded mode (each time with disk1 and disk2 removed)
13:34 < psusi> jdstrand: did you still get that timeout and message about
               degraded when you reconnect the second disk? or does it just
               plod along happily like nothing is wrong at all?
13:34 < psusi> until the fsck fails of course
13:34 < jdstrand> I don't think I got the timeout, let me check
13:36 < jdstrand> psusi: no pause. straight to file system errors
