New-style LVM2 PVs indeed store the LVM2 label in the second sector (1) by default. The sector used can be specified in the range 0-3 using pvcreate --labelsector. (The tools scan the first 4 sectors of each device for an LVM2 label.) So by default the first sector (0) is free for other uses such as booting.
