The fact your DSTAT ALL shows LDEV 2 as "LONER" indicates that it does 
NOT belong to an existing volumeset, despite the fact that it indicates 
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.

If it did, instead of "LONER", DSTAT would show "MEMBER".

(It could also show "MASTER" - but for the fact that it could only be 
true for LDEV 1 for the system volmeset.)

You should be able to add ldev 2 to the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET via 
VOLUTIL.

Or, better still, you could use VOLUTIL to create a temporary TEST 
volumeset and then place a TEST account and some files therein to ensure 
the drive is okay.

When your testing is complete, you could VSCLOSE TEST, then use VIOLUTIL 
to add LDEV 2 to the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.

The LDEV 2 system volume is now showing as Loner status.  Has anyone ever seen this happen?  How else but a SCRATCHVOL or replacement of drive can the status go from Member to Loaner?  System running fine and full backup doesn't show any errors. There aren't many files on Ldev 2, but I would think the full backup would have had a problem trying to store those files.
