This is quite serious.

If you found the issue only appears with 2.02.175-1, Devuan Jessie and
Ascii would be safe, so no need to worry yet. We do have to keep track
of how (and if) it gets fixed in Debian.

So, could you please also file a bug report in Devuan with a link to
Debian's bug report? Use bugs.devuan.org for that.

Just mentioning that the current version in Debian Sid is 2.02.176 and I
can't find a git repository that includes those changes...
This is currently the last pushed commit (Release 2.02.178-1):
https://gitlab.com/debian-lvm/lvm2/commit/90bc98f3828032a1ad24daf14e2e2f2f704f1bd6

Change log and WHATS_NEW file don't contain mentions of a
similar-sounding issue. The only thing fixed regarding 2.02.175 is:
- Fix detection of moved PVs in vgsplit. (2.02.175)
Which doesn't sound like your problem.
It wouldn't hurt to try to chroot your way into the system and upgrade
the package though.
