Please upgrade your pacemaker to at least 1.0.12,
don't forget to also upgrade the cluster glue packages.

I think this version still sends "notify" actions with broken
environment.

You may also try upgrading your DRBD,
at least the DRBD resource agent.

It may help, as because of above mentioned bug we changed behaviour.

Your problem is that apparently stopping the primary side
sometimes/always causes the secondary side to outdate itself:

Once "Outdated", DRBD will refuse to be promoted.
