I forgot to say that the failed disk (/dev/sda) is completely dead 
(probably on-board electronics problem, as accessing it gives i/o errors 
on each and every block and the hd light is stuck on).

Also, blindly guessing, I tried and removed the dead disk from the array:

# mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/sda1
# mdadm /dev/md1 -r /dev/sda3

but nothing changed.
