Thanks for the hint. I found bug #332270... it might be more akin to what I'm describing. Still might be fruitful to cross examine that one: udev's change to inotify is known to cause problems/slowness in booting by constant firings of change events. This might happen without lvm? I don't know about the versions used on intrepid, though.
