Nice, thanks!

With this fixed, I have to ask again: Is _every_ situation where a block
device goes from public to private with a "change" event a bug?

I would say "yes", simply because I can't think of a situation where
LVM2 doesn't know from the start whether the device is creates is gonna
be public or private.

If so, we just keep UDisks2 as it is, I'd say, and I file bugs when I
find another public->private transition.
