Which WARNING message you mean? There is only one in each command:
inconsistent metadata, we can't get rid of that one. About the PV not
found, I think it's better with the message than without. On the other
hand, we *could* make vgextend --restoremissing behave just like normal
vgextend if the PV is actually not part of the VG. But I think it's
better for scriptability (and predictability) to not do that.

Yours,
