Something strange must have happened during that long sequence of operations - perhaps adding disks containing an exported volume group with the same name as one already on the machine, which makes LVM2 confused, it seems? You can look at the metadata history in /etc/lvm/archive to try to work out the sequence of events and at what point things started going wrong. [If you'd like me to take a look, send me a tarball of /etc/lvm.] Filters in the config file can be used to hide the 2 devices that say they're exported while you rename the real VG.
