That bug is not a bug in the lvm2 package. The lvm2 package just
contains the binaries to control the kernel dm stuff. It's a kernel
bug or oversight for the s390 architecture. Bug should be closed or
reassigned to kernel-image, I guess.

I don't think that you as maintainer of the lvm2 package which
contains just the lv* / pv* / etc binaries can be expected to
fix the bugs in the kernel driver (unless you really want to).
