Stefan, you are running amd64, right?

Bastian built the lvm2 on amd64 on a non-systemd system, it seems. This
results in /lib/udev/rules.d/69-lvm-metad.rules lookin like this:
...
ENV{SYSTEMD_READY}="1"
RUN+="/sbin/lvm pvscan --background --cache --activate ay --major $major
--minor $minor", ENV{LVM_SCANNED}="1"
...

If you build lvm2 on a systemd system, those rules look like
...
ENV{SYSTEMD_READY}="1"
ACTION!="remove", ENV{LVM_PV_GONE}=="1", RUN+="/bin/systemd-run
/sbin/lvm pvscan --cache $major:$minor", GOTO="lvm_end"
ENV{SYSTEMD_ALIAS}="/dev/block/$major:$minor"
ENV{ID_MODEL}="LVM PV $env{ID_FS_UUID_ENC} on /dev/$name"
ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="lvm2-pvscan@$major:$minor.service"

If I replace /lib/udev/rules.d/69-lvm-metad.rules with the attached
file, my problems with LVM on top of RAID1 are gone. Can you copy the
attached file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and test if that fixes your problem?

We likely need a runtime check, not a compile time check, in
69-lvm-metad.rules to decide which rules to run.
