I think I've figured it out. The new lvm-tools package appears to have
broken support for detecting dm metadata version 0.90. The update
should be stable for anyone who did not upgrade from earlier versions of
CentOS. (I don't actually know when Anaconda last used 0.90 metadata)
On a working system with "verbose = 6" in lvm.conf:
