did you try to submit the correct passphrase at all? as already written,
these udevd-work messages are just warnings, they shouldn't have any
impact on the functionality after all. in fact, they appear on my system
as well since last udev upgrade. but unlocking the disk still works.

so unlocking the disk works with old initramfs, while it fails with the
new initramfs (ignoring the udev warnings)? or does it work with the new
initramfs as well, despite cluttering the passphrase prompt with udev
warnings?

in the former case you most probably spotted another bug (or
misconfigured your system), in the latter case this bugreport should be
reassigned to package dmsetup, where the respective udev rules need to
be updated.
