I recovered my data.
<div>Thanks for all your help. </div>
<div>The problem was in fact knoppix, but not because it had an
older version of lvm2 or even lvm1.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem was that the human-readable part I extracted from
the beginning of the device contained invisible characters in
front of the </div>
<div>'vol0' label in the file 'volt.txt' .</div>
<div>These characters were not visible in terminal using 'cat',
'more', and they also did not appear in standard error as a
consequence of the 'vgcfgrestore' command, as witnessed by the
first line of the error:</div>

And we owe some pizzas/beers/rawjuicedrinks to the LVM designer who
insisted on human readable metadata. It has been invaluable in many
data recovery scenarios.<br>
