Is this caused by either of d8f14591d10df847fad2e24f2f430b2543020912
or 9fd41abd40c3ffc10985e862dc34c868360a1b22?
Do they not have lvm.conf at all, or is it located in /etc/lvm.conf?

In this case, lvm_set_filter really needs to edit lvm.conf. It could
be more forgiving by creating a new file with a single 'filter' rule
in it however.
Also lvm-filter is a fairly obscure feature. With a bit of thought we
could probably remove its use from the one remaining place in the
libguestfs code (virt-resize).
