Bug#686117: partman fails to recognise existing btrfs data

I successfully proceed through all steps up to partitioning
In the partitioning system, I create two logical volumes:
/dev/vg00/lv0
/dev/vg00/lv1
I then go to a shell and format them as btrfs RAID1:
mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/vg00/lv0 /dev/vg00/lv1
Then I go back to partman. I use `Go Back' to return to the main
installer menu and run `Detect Disks'. Then I go in to partman again
It shows the LVs are empty
If I highlight one of them and press enter, it says:
"You are editing partition #1 of LVM VG vg00, LV lv0. No existing file
system was detected in this partition."
I then went back to the shell and ran
btrfs dev scan
and then returned to D-I, `Detect Disks' again, and return to partman.
Still the same problem.
Even if btrfs RAID is not supported at all in wheezy, I think it is a
serious bug for the installer to suggest the LV or partition is not
formatted when btrfs is a supported FS for Debian.
