Thanks, Lon.
Your answers are always quick, precise, and complete!
Just to let you know the results on my test cluster.
The delta gave:
[root at clutest2 cluster]# grep NEED /tmp/delta.out
    lvm [ NEEDSTOP ] {
  lvm [ NEEDSTART ] {

and end of delta file:
=== Operations (down-phase) ===
Node lvm:TEST_TEMP - CONDSTOP
[stop] lvm:TEST_TEMP
=== Operations (up-phase) ===
Node lvm:TEST_TEMP - CONDSTART
[start] lvm:TEST_TEMP

probably the stop of temp fs is not considered because of the "buggy"
cluster.old file...
So it does't consider the fs to be umounted, but it considers the lv to be
deactivated....  ;-)
Doing the reconfiguration succeeds for what is my goal in the sense that the
service is not disrupted as a whole and the other resource components keep
running.
Also, the fs remains actually mounted (though I would have accepted an
umount/remount of it as I moved the files in the mean time..)
In fact I don't find the message about the mount in messages; furthermore
"tune2fs -l" against the lv gives no changed "Last mount time:" value, so
Indeed the fs was not umounted.....
So far so good.
As a latest comment, is it expected by design that the failure of lv
deactivation during reconfiguration (because of the mounted fs on top of it)
doesn't imply stop of service and that the reconfiguration phase continues
silently?

See what written in messages during the reconfiguration:

Eventually I can send my cluster.conf.old and cluster.conf.new is needed
 for further debug.

Cheers and thanks again for support,
