This is not what happens. The system doesn't even get a reboot when
the mix-up happens.

You boot from the original device, create an LVM-snapshot*, and mount
starts to report the snapshot as the root device, while in fact it
isn't.

I know my initial descriptions of the bug were misleading, as myself
didn't know what the heck is going on.

* I know I shouldn't make an LVM-snapshot of a mounted file system,
but this is not the point.


P.S.: E-mail sent twice, as lists didn't accept it in HTML. Plus I'm
not on the GRUB list, and can't post there.
