It's just a name
Given that the module is raid456.ko, how about this?

There are lots of error message that say 'raid5' too
  
Yes, and lots of log watching programs which know about them. I bet they 
don't know raid456, though, and will either miss them or report them as 
"unknown error" on the scan. Do we really need a cosmetic change which 
will require a functional change with no gain in function?
