Sounds weird, I can't reproduce it...the function do_start (line 397 in 
/lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions) reads /etc/crypttab like this:

egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*(#|$)" "$TABFILE" | while read dst src key opts; do
   SETUP MAPPING
done

Could you add some debugging output to do_start to try to see what is 
going on?
