Sorry, I do not understand this. I assume /dev/sdb is the current good
disk and /dev/sda is replacement disk. In this case you are trying to
add disk that already exists in array once more. This is simply not
possible.

Please show exact steps to reproduce starting with degraded array; and
show array state at each step (cat /proc/mdstat and mdadm --detail
/dev/mdX).
