Thanks for the advices. I checked out patches from CVS
and the test fails on both of the following kernels:
1. vanilla kernel 2.4.27 +
linux-2.4.27-devmapper-ioctl.patch +
linux-2.4.22-VFS-lock.patch
2. vanilla kernel 2.4.28-pre4 +
linux-2.4.28-pre4-devmapper-ioctl.patch +
linux-2.4.22-VFS-lock.patch

Yes, and it also fails if I remove the norecovery
