The cfg restore wasn't enough for me. My PV was still showing up as empty. But I did the vgcfgrestore, vgscan et al. The PV still showed as empty... But I also did a 'pvmove --abort' (even though it seems that there WAS no move in progress). Then I want to bed, didn't want to risk doing something worse due to fatigue :). When I woke up, I checked the PV. It was full again!! So give it some time... Don't panic! This is actually the most important part!! DO. NOT. PANIC. Oh, and don't reboot if you can avoid it (I didn't).
