This is suspicious. In vg_create:

	if ((vg = vg_read_internal(cmd, vg_name, NULL, &consistent))) {
		log_error("A volume group called '%s' already exists.", vg_name);
		unlock_and_release_vg(cmd, vg, vg_name);
		return _vg_make_handle(cmd, NULL, FAILED_EXIST);
	}

So the code you are adding should not be needed, at least not for the
EXIST case.

Hmm. Ok, I see that the code is actually broken, since what fails is
already vg_lock_newname. I'd argue that it should be vg_lock_newname
that should be printing this, not vgcreate. Like this:

 	return FAILED_EXIST;
 }
