I can say with certainty that the madadm assembly happens in the initrd, but I can't find any log messages pertaining to the LVM scan, even on successful boot. There is the following line that occurs before the root pivot, and which is the line that breaks the boot with the latest lvm2:

Here's my mkinitcpio.conf lines: (works with downgrade, not with current):

And now, after another system update, the problem has vanished. There was a kernel update, so I'm willing to believe that it was just some strange transient interaction between LVM, mdadm and the initramfs kernel. Just another day in the life of Arch, I suppose. Thanks for the attention. --Sean
