I've managed to track this down.  The problem seems to be that dm_mod wasn't 
loaded.  Rebooting after creating a VG was enough to get dm_mod autoloaded.  
(I didn't reboot earlier, so I'm not sure whether a reboot after installing 
lvm2 would be enough).

I'm guessing the simple fix is a wrapper script that checks whether dm_mod 
is already loaded, and either modprobes dm_mod, or warns the user that they 
need to load dm_mod.

Existing system, installed pre-etch, nothing unusual,
