If someone could tell me what is responsible for asking the password
of an encrypted partition, I'd at least know where to look or what to
file a bug against in bugzilla.

I can read the partition in rescue mode (and it's mostly backed up
anyway), so this is not the end of the world, but it's pretty
frustrating.
