I just tried to reproduce your bug, but so far I failed. I installed debian/testing with encrypted /dev/hda2 as LVM PV containing / and /home, and I used cryptsetup 1.0.6-1. At first boot after successfull install the system correctly starts the cryptroot partition. As you're the only one reporting this bug, I do believe that either your setup is broken or you discovered a cornercase.

I'm not initramfs expert, but I thought that something like break=init or break=bottom should give you a rescue prompt. greetings, jonas
