I have been seeing the same behaviour with that latest CVS builds. I can create a snap, run "lvs", then try to delete the snapshot. Sometimes it will delete but more often lvremove complains the snap is "open" and refuses. If I rerun lvremove it will usually work eventually if I try several times. Oddly, running "lvs" after creating the snap seems to make it harder to delete. Thank you.
