One possible cause of this is that some versions of LVM 1 (The user that reported this bug originally was using Mandrake 9.2, but it is not necessarily limited to that distribution) did not put a UUID into the PV and VG structures as they were supposed to. The most current versions of the LVM 2 tools automatically fill UUIDs in for the structures if they see they are missing, so you should grab a more current version and your problem should be solved.
