are you sure that your booloader uses the updated initramfs image?
do you use a selfcompiled kernel?
does 'lsmod' on the running system contain any usb/keyboard modules that
you didn't include in the initramfs image?

please attach the output of 
'sh -x mkinitramfs -o /tmp/initramfs-$(uname -r) 2> /tmp/initramfs.log'

btw, this bug seems to belong to initramfs-tools instead of cryptsetup. 

greetings,
 jonas
