What was on the disk to begin with? The problem appears to be with old volume groups. Does it still occur?
oh, jeez, this is like a year old. you know how many VM installs I run per year, right? :) if you can't get anywhere from the logs just close it, there's no way I'll be able to reproduce now.

I just tried recreating what looked like the old LVM setup in the logs and installing the RAID-0 setup you described on top of it with F20, and that worked fine, so let's say this one got fixed.
