This indicates some process(s) are still using the logical volumes
so it is preventingn you breaking those apps. This is expected
behaviour.

That is a totally different operation -aly *activates* volumes which
is the exact opposite of what 'pool-destroy' needs, which is to
de-activate the volumes

AFAICT, there's no bug here. You just need to stop using the volumes
before stopping the pool.
