What version of lvm2?
Try a newer one in case it's something we already fixed.
(An entry in 2.02.63 changelog might be relevant.)
If it still fails on the latest upstream, obtain output with
the -vvvv flags and post a link to it.

I do not know how ancient it is, but it seems that is the one that is
currently available as a package for ubuntu 10.10
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/lvm2-udeb). Am I missing anything?
The HD in question has a VG that is a few years old (and done in centos
4.7).
