Looks like you've found a real problem. Good. One more that HighPoint can smack down. Thanks for posting about it.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

Great news!
About a week ago, I managed to get a stable array after having gotten a second driver update. Having now run it for some time and restarted the whole server a couple of times confirmation has been established.
Apparently, I had found an error that they had to re-create and found were unknown to the RR 2750A-card.
They concluded that there was a data leak in the driver while handling large 3TB disks under RAID environment. That caused the array to become unstable, and in combination with the old BIOS, the system to crashes during power cycle and update failure as well.
However, I still have a very puzzling "error" of sorts.
The indicator lights are at a constant red, regardless of HDD activity and status. This however is a "glitch" I can live with for now.
One word of caution.
The installer for the HP RR-2760A driver is not working properly, at least I had this problem, causing the booth of the server OS to fail. In my case I had to reinstall the server OS in order to get the driver installed correctly.
However, as noted this could be a problem that I, having blank spaces in my skill set, could not solve in a more efficient manner.

Good news. Out of curiosity how are hooking up the lights? The Highpoint cards have two sets of lights on the card, one for activity and one for failure.
Main Server - WHS 2011, Core I5-2500, 12T RAID 5 (5x3T) + 2T of Mirror + 2T of backup
Second Server - 2008R2, Core I5-2500, 12T RAID 5
Main Systems - Core I7-2600k, 16 Gigs DDR3-1600, 180 Gig Intel 330 SSD Max IOPS 240 Gig Vertex 3, 2T Sata 3 for local Backup
Other systems - Core I7-2600, Core I3-530's, Core I5-2500, Core I7-920, Core I3-2100, and G620 (see System List)

Great news. It's always a good thing when a manufacturer can find and correct a bug. Hopefully they can identify and fix the other issues.

Sorry, I realize that i was unclear. It is not the indicator lights on the card, but the status LEDs on the ICY-DOCK 5in3HDD cases that are a constant red and that they have been so since the update.
