I'm able to perform the sequence listed on an Ubuntu devstack setup with no issues. I think the activate changes in general have introduced quite a bit of confusion and honestly I have to admin I've never been able to get a clear understanding of the issues they were introduced to fix in the first place. Maybe we need to do some work on documenting exactly when this is an issue (what scenarios, LVM versions, OS versions etc).
That being said, I don't necessarily object to reverting the patch (I've proposed reverting it once already for other reasons) but I think we need more detailed data and understanding (like why I can't reproduce this particular issue, but also why I could never reproduce the issues that prompted adding all of this activate work in the first place.).
