Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I mailed Ray Strode, its easy enough to add in the init.d livesys script add --number-of-tries=x and -Tx To the line plymouth ask-for-password --command="cryptsetup luksOpen $homedev EncHome"

Will a livecd use /etc/crypttab if the file exists?
Yes
Creating a 8gb liveusb with --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb 2048, works fine. However I would like to increase the number of passwords attempts allowed. I seem to be having no luck increasing the default password retry from 3 on the encrypted home directory. Formating using -T x or adding retry=x seem to leave the default at 3.
The default with an encrypted /home is that we use plymouth to prompt which is also the behavior now in the real system. And I don't think that plymouth has any way to request retrying more than 3 times
