Issue:

While reproducing
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/571093 both
myself and Dustin Kirkland encountered an apparent race condition in
multipath and dmsetup.

We were attempting variants of 'while true; do sudo multipath -F; sudo
multipath -v4 ; done' to create a set of udev add/remove events and
noticed that shortly after starting, no output appeared within the
'udevadm monitor' command.

We observed that the output from a: multipath -v4 was similar to:

$ sudo dmsetup ls
1ATA_WDC_WD3200AAKS-00TMA0_WD-WCAS70000070      (252, 0)

We had to perform 'dmsetup remove <id>' to clear the 'map already
present' message.

While I admit that this is a very specific case, it is still a race
condition and does warrant a bug report.
