This bug does not appear to directly cause data loss.

I'm using 2.6.22 and frequently use LVM snapshotting. This bug is not
reproducible for me.

It's not clear to me from this comment whether you tested each of these
kernels on the same system. How much free space do you have on the VG where
you're snapshotting?
Are you using lvm version 1 or 2? I distantly recall an issue of this sort
occurring when trying to snapshot a version 1 LV with current tools, but I'm
not sure if the current userspace tools in unstable support version 1
metadata at all.
