In future I want to replace 'Missing' with something that gives you
the PV's UUID, but some code restructuring is needed before I can make
that change.

I have also already added a command line switch '--removemissing' to 
vgreduce intended to automate the LVM2 side of the process.
People need to read the vgreduce man page before using this option.
e.g. To run it with '--test' before running it for real.

Correct.  LVM2 needs device-mapper to activate the LVs.
