I upgraded to that just now in order to answer your question.  It does
not fix the issue.

ii  lvm2           2.02.26-1+b1   The Linux Logical Volume Manager

FWIW, fsck still works fine in this configuration; the filesystems can
be checked but not mounted.  IMO, if we're going to withdraw a feature
that people are depending on in order to boot (and I have been
depending on it for the past four years), we should really provide
people with a warning and some time window in which to change their
configuration.
