Yes, you're right. You will end up with both stripes still present but on a single disk. The best I could do using pvmove was to move individual extents around (!) to make the LV contiguous on-disk. Of course, this doesn't remove the striping and inflates the number of segments since each pair of striped extents effectively becomes a segment. The lvconvert command also still accepts a -i <n> parameter but doesn't do anything useful with it and doesn't report an error.
