JFTR, unfortunately PVs cannot be made smaller. The whole idea of LVM is
to do all the resize operations *within* the containers.
JFTR, unfortunately, you'll need to raise a bug against the pvresize

Shrink the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk
(ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new
partition size):
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1
