I am pretty sure that has been the case for a long time. I have filed bugs 
about that it the past. Arguably there are reasons not to install on a 
degraded array as there can problems if this missing element(s) show up 
again later. I have also asked for support for creating raid 1 arrays with 
one element in the installer as that allows you to add another array element 
to the device later with little work. Otherwise you need to do it by hand 
(which I have done), but that's easy to screw up on. I don't know if you 
can currently install to a previously existing raid 1 array with only one 
element.
