I finally tested version 20050111-4 with libdevmapper1.01_1.01.04-2. The 
behaviour is as follows:
Using the command line
 cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-plain -s 256 create 'root' '/dev/hda3' </key
everything worked as before. However, with the command line
 cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-plain -s 256 create 'root' '/dev/hda3' -d /key
the device map is created, but contains random data (ie. wrong key).
