Ok, I found the problem: The sort order of the pv's is wrong, and 0.9 is
missing the code that sorts them. 0.8final's pv_read_all_pv_of_vg.c contains

      for ( p = 0; pv_tmp[p] != NULL; p++) {
         if ( strcmp ( pv_tmp[p]->vg_name, vg_name) == 0) {
            pv_this[pv_tmp[p]->pv_number-1] = pv_tmp[p];
            np++;
         }
      }

and 0.9's doesn't.

The following patch fixes it (I did this fix to prove my theory, it may
not be the right way to do it):
