I don't follow you. The name being processed in that log *does* match a
previous r pattern.

Yes, I'd considered that might be an issue, but that's not the block
device name that the logs indicate is being used. A path that I've
specifically rejected is being processed. If a second path to the block
device might be processed, then I can see the need to make additional
changes, but I can't solve that problem without understanding the basic
logic of the filter system.
The documentation in lvm.conf says "The first regex in the list to match
the path is used, producing the 'a' or 'r' result for the device." but
that doesn't seem to be correct.
