Oh boy! You've heard rumors that the BIOS manufacturers are going to begin supporting file-system-specific layouts? I find that hard to swallow.
Well, in theory we don't need BIOS support. The BIOS will check that the first sector of the device is signed with 55AAh and just jump into the code in the first sector. So if LVM leaves the first sector and track (so grub can hide there) alone, it should work just fine.
