So, vgmknodes seemed to be a reasonable way to get it back.  From the man 
page, 

vgmknodes - recreate volume group directory and logical volume special
       files

Great!

# vgmknodes -v
    Finding all logical volumes
  Found duplicate PV 7LOs90S2Ff8W7Tq8ZGRsT41lphbExsLh: using /dev/hdg1 
not /dev/hde1
  /dev/localvg: opendir failed: No such file or directory


Bummer!  Isn't that the "volume group directory" that vgmknodes is supposed to 
be creating?
