If you write from disk image to virtual LVM device, you will never overwrite LVM metadata. The most convenient way to copy VM image is using qemu-img, since it may not copy unallocated places of VM image, leaving it uninitialized in LVM, which is significantly faster.

I have been hunting for some time over the past couple of days, and find
several documentss that talk about converting from an LVM2 volume to a
raw disk image for Xen, but nothing about the reverse.
I have a VHD disk file that I would like to put on to an LVM2 volume,
like my other DomU guests.
I can see using dd, but am concerned about overwriting the LVM2 header.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
