Unfortunately I don't have a RAID setup so it will be hard to reproduce
here. 

I'd start by checking everything is fine on the kernel/udev side, e.g.
same permissions and owners on the devices. You can also check that
pmount-hal correctly refuses to mount all these partitions.

The next step is to check with gnome-vfs 2.16 in experimental. I don't
think there are much relevant changes between 2.14 and 2.16, but there's
more chance to get interest from upstream developers in this case.

Then, you can rebuild gnome-vfs2 with -DHAL_SHOW_DEBUG; gnomevfs-ls and
nautilus should then show relevant information in stdout. There's much
chance that HAL returns drives it shouldn't return, but you will
probably be able to see if gnome-vfs is able to filter out other
partitions.

If this is not enough, I guess you'll have to end up installing
libgnomevfs2-0-dbg and check what is happening in the _hal_update_all
function.
