I have now done this, and I still see the same failure rate of ~1:1000.
I actually used:
echo "TESTDATAMAGIC" | dd oflag=direct conv=sync status=none bs=4k
count=1 of=/dev/drbd2
and
ssh ${remhost} "dd status=none iflag=direct bs=4k count=1 if=/dev/drbd2
| xxd -a | grep -F 'TESTDATAMAGIC' >/dev/null"

The lower level device is filtered out ( with filter = [
"r|^/dev/guests/mwsig-|" ] ).
I will now try and get more detailed output as you suggest; I wanted to
check that I still saw errors with dd'ing a particular string rather
than pvcreate before re-writing my test code to log more details.
