That's a weird, since mdadm_env.sh only gets installed on SUSE systems.
See the following line from the Makefile (line 316):

if [ -f /etc/SuSE-release -o -n "$(SUSE)" ]; then
  $(INSTALL) -D -m 755 systemd/SUSE-mdadm_env.sh \
$(DESTDIR)$(SYSTEMD_DIR)/../scripts/mdadm_env.sh
fi

Also, personally I've never seen /usr/lib/systemd/scripts used on Arch.
I don't think that's an official (as in used by systemd upstream)
directory (though I'm not sure).
