that doesn't appear to be true for the latest version, explained here:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/gnugrub/?branch_id=59757&release_id=238815

Changes:
This release numbers partitions from 1 instead of 0. For instance, the
first partition of "hd0" is now "hd0,1" instead of "hd0,0".
grub-probefs has been renamed to grub-probe, and supports printing a
guest OS device name and a GRUB drive name. RAID and LVM support have
been added. There is a new "echo" command. The disk API has been
changed to support 64-bit addressing. A TGA loader has been added for
the video API.

  of course, that is the development version, so it is strictly true
that it still doesn't support LVM in the current fedora version.
