This error message might come from the partman-hfs package which currently is quickly hacked to together and naturally not all the checks that are being performed are necessarily returning the correct error messages. See my other mail that I posted into this thread earlier today which explains the technical background. In particular, I have never tested LVM and I therefore don't really know whether the partman-hfs checks for an LVM setup are correct and the error messages make sense. Feel free to perform such tests with images that are otherwise known to work and collect the data. If you really want to help me, I suggest that you perform systematic tests with said image and collect the results and summarize expected behavior and actual behavior of the software. Also, please always save the log file so that we can quickly localize the package in question that is responsible for the warning or error message. The more accurate your tests results are, the easier it is for me to localize the bugs and fix them. So, installation tests are indeed always welcome if they come with usable test results. FWIW, here is the source code for such tests by the partman-ext3 package [1]. Maybe that helps understanding the underlying mechanism.
