you are right, if you make sure that the volume group already exists, the volume creation does work. However, I went back to my config and saw that I do pass the flag storage_dev=/dev/loop0 on the command line. I also noticed that I do not pass the --nodaemon switch.

When I launch nova-volume without --nodaemon 'vgcreate' does not seem to get called. Is that possible? Instead when I launch nova-volume with the --nodaemon, vgcreate does get called. I did instrument the code and compared the log output in the two cases (latest lines of the logs are interesting):

The last few lines are logging messages I added in _init_volume_group, simple_execute and execute. If I execute vgdislay on the shell I get nothing.
