this works correctly with recent version of lvm2 (despite the strange syntax).
Please can you try to upgrade lvm2 (to RHEL/CentOS 5.4 version, the reported
version is from 5.3) and try it again (bu after restoring correct metadata)?

The best is revert metadata to version before the failed operation
(you pasted the correct version above:-) using vgcfgrestore command.
(The whole problem is stored "MISSING" flag in metadata, you can
also use last metadata backup, remove that flag manually and restore this
edited version.)
