Has the problem here the same root as for ext4? I guess sectsz should be 
 >=4096 to avoid troubles, isn't it?

Just to draw some conlusion, could we say that currently, if we are 
going to move data around with LVM, it's better to check that the 
filesystem is using a block size >= than "blockdev --getbsz 
DESTINATIONDEVICE"? At least with ext4 and xfs.

Something that couldn't be true with really small devices (< 500 MB).

Is there already an open bug regarding the problem discussed in this thread?
