from man lvm.conf

md_component_detection — If set to 1, LVM2 will ignore
devices used as components of software RAID (md)
devices by looking for md superblocks. This doesn’t
always work satisfactorily e.g. if a device has been
reused without wiping the md superblocks first.

I've seen this problem on two machines (It came after some update on CentOS 5 )
you can set filter more strict to avoid bad detection
filter = [ "a/.*/" , "r|/dev/md.*|" ]
