Did you check with LVM and that all its persistent symlinks are still
there?

These are unrelated and harmless (the errors are old, only the message
is new).

Why do we need it executable?

It is /dev/.udev/ or /run/udev/. I do not know exactly how LVM interacts
with it, just that it must be preserved.

No, there is no such code in the udev package. What you are seeing is
/run/udev/ being lost when the initramfs is destroyed and a new
/dev/.udev/.
