Sorry to confirm this. My RAID5 got destroyed a second time.
To summarize what worked / not worked / and seems to work for me:

First 2 tries with unpatched rc4-mm1: Both times one sata_sil24-drive got kicked
Then I switched back to rc3-mm1, 18 boots with that kernel worked.
Then I tried the patched rc4-mm1 and it worked too.
The next boot also worked, but the third time kicked a drive out again.
But as nobody reads logs, I did not notice that and keep using the
patched rc4-mm1.
The next 5 times the system worked normally with the two remaining drives.
The sixth boot kicked the second sata_sil24 drive. That I did notice...
After reassembling the RAID, I'm now back to the patch rc4-mm1 that
did boot correctly this time.
So the patch just makes it unlikelier to hit the bug. Instead of
failing 2 out of 2 times, it only failed 2 out of 8 times.
I compared the rc4-mm1 boot from a working case and the case where it
kicked the first drive. Nothing seems to stand out...

Another good boot also showed the aperture at a similar high address:
CPU 0: aperture @ b7f2000000 size 32 MB
And that good boot also showed the "correct" BogoMIPS:
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5205.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=26027183)
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5200.01 BogoMIPS (lpj=26000052)
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5200.01 BogoMIPS (lpj=26000082)
Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5200.03 BogoMIPS (lpj=26000166)

Anything more I can provide to help debugging this?
