Thanks a lot for you detailed report. Looking at upstream git this was
fixed in commit
 65d108fbe1bedbc2ef2da07049d174eb88896435
I've attached that commit to this mail (it applies to Debian's 0.4.8 as
well).
Could you try that one? It's very similar to the gentoo version but a
bit cleaner.

You'll need an updated dmsetup/libdevmapper to make it work on lenny.
Packages are available here:

That would probably be easier.
