Well not according to the manual, which was the reason for my original
comment.

pvresize will refuse to  shrink  PhysicalVolume  if  it  has  allocated
extents  after  where  its  new  end would be. In the future, it should
relocate these elsewhere in the volume group  if  there  is  sufficient
free space, like pvmove does.
