I have seen a similar issue with Ubuntu 14.10

Repro steps:

root@ubuntu-amd64:~# lsb_release -cd
Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Codename: utopic

# after reboot
root@ubuntu-amd64:~# cat /etc/lvm/lvm.conf | grep " snapshot_autoextend"
    snapshot_autoextend_threshold = 80
    snapshot_autoextend_percent = 20

  snap1 vg1 swi-a-s-- 12.00m vol1 87.83
  vol1 vg1 owi-a-s-- 100.00m

At this point I expected the snap1 volume to be auto extended based on the 80% setting in lvm.conf. However as can be seen the snapshot is 87% and the size stays as 12MB. If I continue writing the snapshot gets fill and disabled.
