I manually created the device nodes for /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.  I then
reran grub-mkdevicemap and now the device.map had devices in it.
Rerunning grub-install /dev/md0  now reports no errors.

So it does seem to be a bug with udev and the squeeze upgrade so I'll
move this over to a Debian bug.

Thanks for your help!
