Yes indeed. Sadly (I now feel) I created my VG with the name "VG-1" and now 
I see exactly this "problem."

So far as I can see, I have a VG with this naming issue, some LVs with 
*names" which reflect the same problem, and some entries in /etc/fstab (I'm 
running Debian on this machine, FWIW) which contain associated /dev/mapper 
names.

Now that someone has brought this up, can someone possibly tell me a safe 
way to go about renaming things? I was thinking of something like "VG1" :)
