Well I mean something like that in `mdadm -Q --detail /dev/md0' output:

(Don't worry about it, this is from a bugreport I did on mdadm)

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       0        0        0      removed
       1       0        0        1      removed
       2       0        0        2      removed
       3       8       81        3      active sync   /dev/sdf1

       4       8       65        -      spare   /dev/sde1
       5       8       49        -      spare   /dev/sdd1
       6       8       33        -      spare   /dev/sdc1

This is the only segfault in grub-probe I know of, which is already
fixed in a patch from one of the upstream developers.
It's just not yet commited.

If this is not the problem you have then I don't have a single clue why
there's another reason for a segfault in it :(
