Well, I yum-ed and presto-ed about 450 Mb or so of updates (covering a 
little less than 500 packages) and at yum's cleanup step #777 of 972, 
something like glibc stalled the entire cleanup process then and there. 
I was able to shower and shave and step 777 was still running, with the 
hard drive spinning like mad. I did ctrl-c to kill the process and 
rebooted the machine. Result:

Plymouth doesn't prompt for the disk encryption password any more, but 
if you type the password in anyhow and press enter, this will be used 
for decryption and the boot process will start.

Thunderbird 3.0b3 still will not recognize my migrated email account 
like it used to. It may be that the 'cleanup' step for Thunderbird was 
needed.

I guess I'll do a wholesale reinstall from the snapshot ISO.
