We recently changed d-i to use UUID in crypttab entries,
which is likely to be causing this problem.

Jonas, do you think the initramfs script can be adapted to
allow UUID or should partman-crypto go back to /dev/mapper
for the root backing device for now?

(No time to look deeper into it right now, sorry.)
