Thanks. That's the explanation that I eventually inferred. The documentation is misleading: "Enabling this is strongly advised!" suggests that it needs to be enabled, isn't enabled by default. And the fact that I couldn't find a place where the setting would be stored on the LV/VG, etc. suggested that it only affected the one command.
