Everything is fine. You put your physical volume directly on the
harddisk, not in a partition, so you don't have a partition table.
vgscan recognizes the hard disk itself as LVM physical volume anyway
that's why it works.

If you want to get rid of this, the next time you create a PV please
create a partition first with fdisk, e.g. /dev/hdg1 with type 8e (LVM)
and then pvcreate /dev/hdg1.
