So there is a new general constraint that a table must be loaded into a device before another device's table can reference that device. (The stacked device handling in lvm2 as supported by libdevmapper should always be doing this.) (The original implementation had to be a bit loose to accommodate multipath device paths that were essentially placeholders at the point they got set up.)
