No, that's a well-tested scenario.

[...] That's intentional and not a bug. We find out the root and resume devices from the built-in defaults or kernel command line. But we find the /usr device from /etc/fstab, after fscking and mounting root. There's a separate script, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/lvm2, that is called to handle /usr and should activate its volume group. How was /usr listed in /etc/fstab?
