1.0.4 with redhat 7.3 (2.4.18 patched by myself)
More informations :
When i did

vgimport lvmvg1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdg1 :
vgimports said that only 3 PVs ( of the 4) were given in arguments

but when i did 

vgimport lvmvg1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdk :
vgimport said : 
vgimport -- ERROR: wrong number of physical volumes to import volume group "lvmvg1

That's why i think that there's a problem with hdk (which is a whole LVM 
disk not a LVM partition).
But data on this disk seems to be good because i've restore them by 
changing
PV_EXPlvmvg1PV_EXPPV_EXPPV_EXP
into
PV_IMPlvmvg1 with Linux Disk Editor
Any idea ???

Ps : Sorry for my english ...:">
