how to assemble an array with journal??

[Carlos Carvalho]

I've created an array with journal but after stopping it I'm stuck to assemble
it back, mdadm refuses to assemble it because of stale journal device:

First create journal device, it's a 2-disk raid0:

foobar# mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 0 -n 2 -e 1.1 /dev/sd[fg]
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
foobar# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
md0 : active raid0 sdg[1] sdf[0]
      312318976 blocks super 1.1 512k chunks

Now create the raid6 array with journal:

foobar# mdadm -C /dev/md1 -l 6 -n 20 -e 1.1 --assume-clean --write-journal=/dev/md0 /dev/sd[de] /dev/sd[h-y]
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.

foobar# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
md1 : active raid6 sdy[20] sdx[19] sdw[18] sdv[17] sdu[16] sdt[15] sds[14] sdr[13] sdq[12] sdp[11] sdo[10] sdn[9] sdm[8] sdl[7] sdk[6] sdj[5] sdi[4] sdh[3] sde[2] sdd[1] md0[0](J)
      105487045632 blocks super 1.1 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [20/20] [UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]
      bitmap: 0/44 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk

md0 : active raid0 sdg[1] sdf[0]
      312318976 blocks super 1.1 512k chunks

Now stop it:
foobar#~[17:56]  mdadm -S /dev/md1
mdadm: stopped /dev/md1

I put the uuid in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to make it easier to assemble, then

foobar#~[17:58]  mdadm -vv -A /dev/md1

mdadm: /dev/sde is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 1.
mdadm: Not safe to assemble with missing or stale journal device, consider --force.

Note that all slots were found, including the journal one. Why does it complain
it's stale??

Trying to assemble listing the devices directly gives the same result:
foobar#~[17:58]  mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sd[de] /dev/sd[h-y]                     mdadm: Not safe to assemble with missing or stale journal device, consider --force.

This is with 4.7.9. How can I reassemble it?
