Maybe, multi-level device file name canfuse vgs.
See my test.

# ls -l /dev/cciss/c0d3p3
brw-r-----  1 root disk 104, 51 Jul 22 05:21 c0d3p3

# mknod /dev/c0d3p3 b 104 51
# ls -l  /dev/c0d3p3
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 104, 51 Jul 22 05:43 /dev/c0d3p3

# vgs /dev/c0d3p3
  Volume group "c0d3p3" not found

# echo $?
5
