Timo: I installed clean jaunty with "standard" alternate CD HDD encryption. Jaunty ships with cryptsetup 1.0.6 and the problem which causes this was fixed in 1.0.7

from the mailing list in comment #16:

     cryptsetup 1.0.7 changelog:
     - Wipe start of device (possible fs signature) before LUKS-formatting.

So this problem is not going to show up with everyone, but when it does it's nasty and very troublesome. I'll try some dd magic tomorrow to see if I can get the karmic kernel/initramfs to detect the partition correctly.
