Do you have verbose output from the failing pvcreate with '-vvvv'?

The patch was produced under severe time pressure before I went away and I know it doesn't deal with one case properly - maybe the case you hit. It addresses a symptom not the cause: the code is not meant to be trying to write to read-only file descriptors in the first place, and this happens here because of a shortcoming in way it does its locking. I'll deal with this maybe later this week or else in the New Year.
