LVM2 still does that for lvm1-format VGs of course. And for lvm2-format VGs it simply sets a flag in the metadata to say it's exported. No, the issue is that LVM2 is using the not-guaranteed-to-be-unique VG name internally in places where it ought to be using the unique VG uuid. And vgimport should work by VG uuid (in case there are several exported VGs present all with the same name) and require a new post-imported name to be specified if there's already a live VG with the same name.
