Well, as far as I can tell, nobody ever gave me a full and useful answer
to my question in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925134#10, and so I
don't have a way to reproduce this bug.  Until somebody answers that
question in enough detail that I can set up a corresponding test VM,
this bug is very likely to remain stalled, no matter how much people
explain how very disappointing that is.

That said, I see that nobody has yet linked to
https://cryptsetup-team.pages.debian.net/cryptsetup/encrypted-boot.html
in this bug, which discusses some issues with LUKS header format
versions.  It's not clear whether that's the problem that everyone in
this bug has, but perhaps it will help some.
