I'm not sure if this is your problem, but the Software RAID How-To says:

"Don't put the failed-disk as the first disk in the raidtab, that will
give you problems with starting the RAID. Create the RAID, and put a
filesystem on it."

It may be that SW RAID cannot really use LVMs. It is usually the
other way around (LVM using RAID arrays).
