Odd :(

Then send your metadata to me directly (mge at sistina.com) for further
investigation please.

Do a "dd if=/dev/$DEV of=$DEV.vgda count=4k bs=1k" where DEV is sdb, hde4 etc.
(IOW: all you PVs belonging to the VG in question)

Archive these .vgda files with tar, bzip2 the archive and send that
email-attached.
