Lvremove does not properly remove it from the .cache. Perhaps that is the bug. I’ll investigate more ( I’m using lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5).
-bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep tom
"/dev/sys/tomtest2",
"/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2",
-bash-3.2$ sudo lvremove /dev/sys/tomtest2
Do you really want to remove active logical volume tomtest2? [y/n]: y
Logical volume "tomtest2" successfully removed
-bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep tom
"/dev/sys/tomtest2",
"/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2",
Thanks
Tom

Not sure why this would happen. When deleting LV's in libvirt, we simply
call our to lvremove, which I assume would clear up .cache entries.
