Yes, I can still reproduce it. I am really out of ideas what might be
causing this. My current configuration:

- self-compiled vanilla 2.6.29-rc5 linux kernel. I tried vanilla
  2.6.28.7 and 2.6.27-1-amd64 (from experimental) as well with the same
  results.

- encrypted filesystems in /etc/crypttab:

  cswap0 /dev/sda6 /dev/random swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=256,hash=sha256
  home   /dev/sda7 none        cipher=aes

  As you can see, there's (unfortunately) no luks. I don't know whether
  that makes any difference.

- cryptsetup version 2:1.0.6-7 (unstable)

- sysvinit version 2.86.ds1-61 (unstable)

- insserv version 1.12.0-4 (unstable), CONCURRENCY=shell in
  /etc/default/rcS. Disabling this setting resolves the problem, just
  like disabling bootlogd.
