It looks like this is due to an incompatibility with the device-mapper RPM of RHEL4 U2. When you downgrade device-mapper to 1.01.01-1.RHEL4, it works. Note that the dmraid in RHEL4 U2 package has a similar same problem.
I recall seeing that error message before, but can't remember the details at the moment.
Since libdevmapper interface is undergoing changes for U3 anyway, I've removed set_selinux_context from lvm2 and changed lvm2 to use the device-mapper version, so any problem should disappear in U3.
