That is usually caused by a partition which has had a pv header (from using pvcreate) and then later used for a filesystem. The result is often that the pv header is only partially overwritten by the fs.
Could you provide the output of vgdisplay -vvv and pvscan -vvv, it should help in finding out which device is causing the error.
