Hi again, so I tried to use the current git version of LVM to see if I could reproduce the problem, and I couldn't, even with Debian's udev rules. Apparently, there is still a difference between the version that comes with Debian Wheezy and the current git tree with respect to this problem. (I actually thought the relevant patches were included, but apparently I was wrong.) On the other hand, I'm too lazy to bisect the entire commit history to see what exactly was the change that fixed it. Nevertheless, I think it might be a good idea to still apply my patch (perhaps with a slightly different commit message) just to provide an additional layer of robustness, especially since it fixes the problem in a previous version.
