Dimitre,
You probably need to rescan the partition table from the second node. You can do this by using blockdev --rereadpt <single path device> Once you have done this, it could be you still need to reread the partition table on the multipath device, which can be done using partprobe. After that it could be necessary to use kpartx to create the new partition.
I never found why sometimes the multipath and / or the multipath partition steps needed to be done and why the sometimes where directly correct after using the blockdev command on one of the single path devices. I can only guess it has something to do with caching.

Just to add that kpartx and partprobe were executed on the second node after the partition was recreated.
