So the question #1 -  are you using upstream lvm2 udev rules ?
(matching with install package)

Are there any modification made to upsteam lvm2 udev rules?
(Debian is usually having problems with those)

The rules are quite complex and any 'touch 'to them should be consulted with 
upstream authors.

Could you create / remove snapshots without any problems.

I guess you should probably post failing logs for better diagnostic.
