It shouldn't.
I can add a safety-net at that point but better you investigate what
goes wrong before that point.

Don't oversight that p = mp->params, which is the string that gets fed
to the device-mapper via ioctl in setup_map().
setup_map(mp)
\_ select iopolicy for this multipath
\_ apply the iopolicy to mp->pathvec (vector of paths),
store result in mp->pg (vector of vectors of paths)
\_ assemble_map() transforms mp->pg into mp-params string,
formatted according to device-mapper params style
\_ select between CREATE or UPDATE device map
\_ do the device-mapper driving
normally, mp->pathvec can't be null at that point.
check with a "make DEBUG=3" if an iopolicy is selected,
because I can't see how an iopolicy can loose paths in the
transformation.
