I would use device mapper to create a writable overlay block device of the readonly block device (like Live media does) and rename that to import. No monkeying about with namespaces.
Yes, it would probably be the only solution with a real read-only device.
Still, I remember the good old advice to not touch the dm table when using LVM (to avoid doing something wrong with the LVM-managed tables) - so I would probably be more comfortable using a live media to rename the duplicate VG.
Thanks.
