hookscript becomes unavailable during host shutdown

I have a hookscript with pre-stop and post-start phases defined.
The hookscript is successfully called when I shutdown the VM via the UI or when a scheduled backup job runs.
However, if I shutdown or reboot the PVE host, when it shuts down the guest concerned, the script is not found:

hookscript error for 105 on pre-stop: script 'local:snippets/omv-guest-hookscript.pl' does not exist

The script is located on the local pve/vz volume:

hookscript: local:snippets/omv-guest-hookscript.pl

Code: 
# ls -l /var/lib/vz/snippets/
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1692 Jul 16 07:08 omv-guest-hookscript.pl

I thought perhaps /var/lib/vz was unmounted before the guest was shutdown (seems highly unlikely). So I attempted to call the script from somwhere on the rootfs, e.g. /usr/local/bin. But it seems only snippets directories may be be used for guest hookscripts?

I'm not sure why that script becomes unavailable so early during the host shutdown.

I added PVE storage to the root fs and moved the hookscript there.
Code: 
dir: scripts
        path /usr/local/share/pve
        content snippets
        shared 0
Now, when the host shuts down, that guest's hookscript is found and runs as expected:

Question remains why the default local lvm storage seems to go unavailable before all guests have shut down. Whilst I kept the default LVM storage /var/lib/vz, all the guest disks are on a separate lvmthin volume.
 
please post the journal part covering the shutdown with the problem, pveversion -v output and the storage.cfg contents

To which I added another local store just for snippets (with which it then worked on a host shutdown).

Code: 
dir: scripts
    path /usr/local/share/pve
    content snippets
    shared 0

Whilst the journal shows the post-stop error, it does not show the pre-stop one (from tasks view @12:49:53 shown in the OP).
The guest concerned does host the omv-backup storage above. However the purpose of the hookscript is to disable and umount this prior to shutting down that guest. Which works under other circumstances.

When I get a chance, I plan to reinstate the problematic config and try a script with another guest.

the journal should start with the start of the host shutdown, not with the guest part ;) the problem is in between those two points in time after all..

Yes, that makes sense! I'd thought it too large to post.
So I disabled all but two VMs and a container.
Lo and behold, the pve-vz volume is umounted before the host begins shutting down guests. I've no guest volumes on that store BTW.

@fabian many thanks for identifying the cause.
I'm staying with my snippets on the rootfs for time being. But if I apply the suggested change, it is presumably:

systemctl edit pve-storage.target

INI: 
#/etc/systemd/system/pve-storage.target.d/override.conf
[Unit]
After=blk-availability.service
