Your /etc/mtab isn't being updated when those filesystems are mounted,
for some reason.  Either that, or the filesystems aren't being mounted.

You can safely copy the contents of /proc/mounts over /etc/mtab.  But
ideally it should work without such manual intervention.  You'll have
to dig to the bottom of it, LVM is not directly causing the problem.
