That's the problem. (C)LVM does not currently have a way to handle
the disappearance of a device from just one machine... it expects a
similar view of devices from all machines in a cluster. "Locking" on
the second node fails because it doesn't know what to do with the disk
that it sees (that has been removed from the node suffering the
failure).
There is someone working handling orphaned/removed devices that
reappear (which would be similar to this case), but I'm not sure if
they've taken this scenario into account. I'll let him know about this.

How are you performing the failures? It looks like just one
machine is loosing its connection to the device, while the other
machines links remain in place.

If the problem is reproducible, we should be able to track it down.
When a failure happens, the kernel sends an event to userspace that
signals 'dmeventd' to take action. If we take dmeventd out of the
picture, we can run the commands ourselves with higher verbose
settings.
When you activate the volume, you can 'lvchange -ay --monitor n
<vg>/
<lv>' - this will prevent dmeventd from monitoring the mirror. Then
kill the log device. Finally, run 'vgreduce --removemissing <VG> -
vvvv' to perform the recovery. (redirecting all the output to a
file
will give us something to look at if the failure is reproduced.)
We may need to grab debugging output from clvmd too, but that can
get
messy, so we'll start with this.

P.S. It looks like you must have *.debug; in your /etc/syslog.conf,
yes?
