I've seen a similar bug in the past, but that one got fixed.
 
(1) Please reproduce with the latest LVM2 release (2.00.20)

(2) Also reproduce after building with configure --disable-o_direct

(3) Then send standard lvm2 diagnostics: turn on debug logging to file 
    in lvm.conf, run vgscan, and send me (not the list) the 
    (compressed) output.   [If it's big, you can truncate it from
    where it starts repeating itself.]

  log {
        file="/tmp/lvm2.log"
        level=7
  }

That suggests you've somehow got more than one LVM2 label on /dev/hda11:
the debug output may give more details.
[Or send me the first 2k of the device.]

What's the history of LVM commands affecting that device?
(eg created with an old LVM2 pvcreate or/and the current one,
or with the --labelsector option?  dd onto it? vgcreate/extend?
adjusted partition table?)
