So the previous poster's "Yes" actually means "No". And a broken
partition table will zap a disk with an LVM partition too won't it? So
the bottom line is that if I want to move an LVM partition to a
different system I have to hold my breath and pray. 

The idea that a disk partition needs Unix file to be able to read it is
absolutely astonishing.
