This could mean that your LVM is corrupt, or that our LVM logic is incomplete.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to review that, but I improved the parser
to make it more robust, failing safely when problems like this one arise.  This
fixes the issue at hand (using grub-probe in update-grub).

Please, could you try the attached patch and report your results?

Thanks
