I run LVM over RAID1 for the same reasons.
Can you set that up during the initial install?
Yes. Set up the RAID1 as normal, then set up the LVM on the md device.
Also, are
there steps you have to take when cloning machines by
dd or rebuilding raid mirrors to make sure they don't
confuse the system if you move drives around and
end up with a duplicate in the same machine (like the
filesystem labels do)?
If you're moving drives to another system you can "export" a volume
group and then "import" it on another system.
Can't advise on cloning as I've never tried it.
