What is GRUB (or your boot loader) giving as parameters to the kernel? What error messages appear on screen? Sometimes it's helpful to photograph the screen and put the picture on a web server to help people diagnose the problem.

Making changes to /etc/fstab didn't seem to work and nor did manually adding device=/dev/sda1,device... in the GRUB config itself. What has fixed the problem though seems pretty horrible it to specify root=/dev/sda1 instead of UUID=....

That sounds like a problem with the Ubuntu initrd, probably filing an Ubuntu bug report would be the best thing to do. Is BTRFS supported in that version of Ubuntu? But just changing your boot configuration to use /dev/sdx is probably the best option.
I'll file a bug report but I'm not sure whether this is a GRUB or an initrd / initramfs problem. Getting a persistent fix required a bodge in /etc/grub.d/10-linux

As for support, I don't think it is considered stable in 14.04 but I haven't had to do anything special to use it and used to official installer to get where I am (converting the single disk FS to a RAID1 after).

In any case, thanks for the help :)
