The symlink won't cause lvmcreate_initrd to create a ramdisk image with
the missing executable.

To check, just copy your initrd image somewhere, say /tmp, uncompress it
(gunzip) there and mount it on a mount point as a loop device:

Given an initrd uncompressed file name: my_image
Given a mount point named: /tmp/my_mount_point

Just type: mount -o loop /tmp/my_image /tmp/my_mount_point

After that, you can cd to /tmp/my_mount_point and look at the files and
executables there.
