Is this a problem that should be fixed, or is this combination of small embed plus raid and lvm considered unsupportable?

It's unsupportable. The image was small enough mainly because of
combination of sloppy coding and avoiding handling some legitimate cases
which resulted in bugs. You're welcome to try to decrease the size of
this configuration (there are few places where you can squeeze few
bytes) but it contradicts few other goal with this config, one of them
being speed of boot.
