cryptsetup svn trunk should have fixed this bug in a different way.
canonical_device is now invoked both in get_root_device() and
get_resume_devices(). could you verify that the new package fixes this
bug for you?

you can find preliminary packages at
http://people.debian.org/~mejo/cryptsetup/

please give this package a try and report back whether this fixes the
bug for you.

greetings,
 jonas
