In case anyone is still following this, I asked about it on the LVM
mailing list and got some more interaction there, but it's still a
mystery.

It seems to be off-topic there: I think we've established that
there are problems whether LVM is involved or not, and that LVM has
no function to work around this. But it may continue a little longer
while there are useful suggestions.
Included in that thread is a full list of commands I used to create
a test case on the 512e host and move the disk image to the 4kN
host, in case anyone else wants to replicate the problem. I don't
think you'd need LVM, or MD RAID, to replicate it.
Thanks,
Andy
