This problem was also present in Debian. I linked the corresponding bug
report.

It's also now fixed in Debian stable.  Unstable had the fix since
summer, from which it got into Saucy, so 13.10 should not be affected
(haven't yet verified that, but the fix is in lvm2 2.02.98-05 and 13.10
has 2.02.98-06, so it's a good bet).

The Debian bug report also has a few workarounds for those still stuck
on earlier releases.

And I guess the fix should probably be backported to 12.04 LTS.
