The man page for pvcreate states that the label goes in the second

Bug?
We define a sector at 512 bytes. Always.
Some documentation could be improved to make that clearer.
And current storage devices always define a logical sector as 512 bytes,
and the firmware takes care of the R/M/W (with caching) needed for
partial or unaligned writes.
The physical sector size is important when *aligning* LVM segments, filesystem
blocks, RAID clusters, etc.
