Yep, it's cosmetic.

These are the same problem and due to the same patch.  I believe it
is fixed by

 v3.3-rc1~60 ("dm: do not forward ioctls from logical volumes to the
 underlying device", 2012-01-12)

which is part of v3.2.2 (hence current sid kernels) and upstream
v2.6.32.56 (hence the next squeeze kernel).  Confirmation would be
welcome.

Sorry for the regression.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
