OK. In that case I think the patch below fixes things. There already seems 
to be support for "undoubling" hyphens when parsing VG/LV names 
from /dev/mapper devices.

I cannot quickly find how exactly this is handled in manual partitioning 
using LVM, but as it seems to work correctly there I'm not going to worry 
too much about it now.
