I need to do more work ... perhaps test with the --madadmconf flag when building the initrd is next step.
I confirm that building the initrd with --mdadmconf fixes the problem assembling the raid disks using dracut - this happens fine now.
In my case the /etc/mdadm.conf has RRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.2 name=xxx ...
where xxx is the hostname which is also in the RAID superblock.
I would therefore recommend that the pacman hook file which is used to build the initrd use the --mdadmconf option.
I will note that the file is not included even with -H or --include /etc/mdadm.conf.
