I started to work a few days ago on an eigensolver for linear elasticity with the use of the SLEPc wrappers in deal.II  (based on step-8 and step-36), and I came across the same issue Leonhard described above. After some debugging I realised the issue was in the fact that I was not assembling the mass matrix correctly. Essentially, if following step-8, then you need to only add terms to the local mass matrix whenever comp(i) == comp(j) (following the notation in step-8 documentation), as it is done for the \nabla\phi_i\dot\nabla\phi_j term.

Another way to go around this issue is to use "FEValuesExtractors::Vector" for the displacement (the only unknown in the system). With this way the assemble looks a lot more closer to how one would write a primal formulation for linear elasticity. So far, both ways give the same eigenvalues, which also make sense (in 2 and 3D, and on different domains).

Yes, and that makes sense.

The observation about having to have a check of the form comp(i)==comp(j), in any form, is correct. If you don't have this, then the matrix you build is of the form
  [M M]
  [M M]
which is rank deficient because rows (columns) in the first block of rows (columns) are identical to rows (columns) in the second block of rows (columns). So it makes sense that you get a zero pivot: the matrix really is singular.
