Perhaps that's the solution: a new lvm.conf/cmdline parm that permits independent log placement. Allocation is initially performed the same as currently. But if it fails and this new setting was chosen, then the allocation is re-attempted without the log, and if that succeeds, an independent attempt is made to allocate the log.
