Upstream lvm2 has done for a long time (since 2.02.00 with quite a few fixes and tweaks after that, and one known problem still outstanding). I can't speak for any customisation done in ubuntu or on the machine with the problem - hence my request for full version and configuration information.
It scans everything in /dev and all subdirectories? Wow that would be colossally slow and prone to hang. Imagine trying to access a nd device whose server is down.
In any case, if it did scan the dmraid device, it would just complain about finding duplicates; it has no way of knowing which one it should use.
Also it looks like feisty used 2.2.06 and the config files shipped in the package can be found here:
