This should be resolved already (since lvm2 version 2.02.75) with this patch
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=commit;h=cfbbf34d6a8606dd97ef529e8f709e494535ed42

This seems to be another bug, I've sent a patch to lvm-devel...

(The metatada/dirs is not used so often so that's probably the reason why these
bugs got unnoticed for a longer time. If you have any other problem while using
this setting, plese, feel free to report it. Thanks.)
