In my experience, LVM inside domUs is very useful.  It makes
persistent naming, snapshotting, live resizing or migration to new
storage possible.  These may not count on a test system, but they do
when you provide some important service via your domU.

But then you should be familiar with the LVM tools anyway, so the
above can't be a problem.  And conflicting VG names is a disaster
anyway.  Usually I set each to something meaningful, like the host
name for example.
