This is an fdisk rather than LVM2 problem.

That'll pretty much break any file system that has fixed superblock locations. Either use an fdisk that matches the defaults used when the partition was first created or ensure you are using sector display units (looks like you are - 2048 == 1MiB which is the default used by modern fdisks from util-linux) and carefully match the start location when deleting/re-adding. Btw this is fixable as long as you can still find the correct starting sector.
