no it does not it's because your lvm2 is still from sarge
and it be interesting to track the failure down, currently
i have no other info beside the failure.

could you add vgscan to your initramfs and check what it is
saying inside of the rescue shell.
you'd have to add a following line to the bottom of one hook in
 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ :
copy_exec /lib/lvm-200/vgchange /sbin
