Alasdair:
Many thanks. I blew away the pv with your suggested pvremove and
recreated specifying a large metadatasize (16M, since am experimenting)
and all worked as desired this time around.

I can destroy the data. In fact, that is what I would like to do, but
softly using lvremove, vgremove, pvremove if possible. But I can't get
around the current error.
Advice,please? Are there parameters I can give during the creation of
the group or volume to avoid this?
As you realised, you need to recreate the PV with a much larger
metadatasize.
There are no tools yet to manipulate it after it's been created.
If you can throw it away, do that: vgchange -an to deactivate everything
then pvremove -ff to destroy it.
[If you weren't able to do that, there are workarounds involving making
lvm2 stop using that metadata area and using a new larger one somewhere
else instead.]
