Clarification:
to allow for feature checks, the compat_features member was
in the dm-raid superblock from the beginning (so before ecbfb9f118bce4).
It got renamed from features to compat_features because incompat_features
got introduced with that commit together with the problematic check
of compat_features you thankfully found.
