I have not tested live migration, but I am sure that it would not work. I 
believe that xl/xm can not deactivate the LV on one host and activate it on the 
other. I afraid that xm does not even know that the VM uses LVs as disk, xm can 
only distinguish between file and block device. But that is only a guess from 
me.
