Thank you for filing this bug report. From what you describe, this looks a bug which could have been fairly easily caught. We did some Debian SAN Boot testing (which pulls-in the dm-multipath driver into the initrd), but I wasn't reported of any such issue.
For saving me some time, Do you have exact steps that can reproduce this
bug? That'll help me quick.
Anyways, Thank you. And I will look into it.
