I have been experiencing this issue for weeks, ever since plumouth 0.9.0 landed. I've discussed it with Alan Pope and Steve Langasek. I've just tried installing stock Ubuntu 14.10 Beta 2 desktop i386 on the following systems and selected full disk encryption on all of them during the install:

  * Thinkpad T43p (ATI/AMD graphics chipset, open source driver) - On reboot my pass phrase is not accepted.
  * Thinkpad X61s (Intel graphics chipset, open source driver) - On reboot I can enter my pass phrase.
  * VirtualBox Guest (no virtualbox-guest-* modules installed) - On reboot my pass phrase is not accepted.

Therefore I suspect this issue is in someway releated to the graphics driver. The following bug raised against Plymouth also describes the same issue.

The other concern is users running 14.04 with full disk encrpytion and who then upgrade to 14.10 could effectively brick their computer.
