I saw that too, and thought the same as you did. I did some checks (see below),
but some web searches suggest that this message is a normal consequence of clvmd
initialization; e.g.,

<http://markmail.org/message/vmy53pcv52wu7ghx>

Before I tried your lvmconf suggestion, here was my /etc/lvm/lvm.conf:
<http://pastebin.com/841VZRzW> and the output of "lvm dumpconfig":
<http://pastebin.com/rtw8c3Pf>.

Then I did as you suggested, but with a check to see if anything changed:

# cd /etc/lvm/
# cp lvm.conf lvm.conf.cluster
# lvmconf --enable-cluster
# diff lvm.conf lvm.conf.cluster
#

So the key lines have been there all along:
    locking_type = 3
    fallback_to_local_locking = 0
