Hey, I've tested now with and without snapshots and it's clearly the
culprit.

See the attached observation log.

You can see (1) that while there is a snapshot on the root volume, on my
setup, the current cryptsetup from Debian is broken; it is *not* broken
if I remove the snapshot. (2) I see confirmed that my patch works for me
in both cases.

So, I hope now you've got at least something to reproduce the case.

Christian.
