After much searching around, I found your article in Linux Magazine:
http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/3/

The instructions there work for me.  So I have a workaround.  On the
other hand, in your article the chroot environment contains the entire
original system.  The original poster seems to only have a backup of
/home.  Can the method from your article be adjusted to mount a backup
of /home only?  What if the backup is on readonly media?  (The chroot
method failed for me when I tried to mount my backup readonly, but that
was the entire filesystem, not just /home.)

I also notice that in the chroot environment I get the same errors as
described in my previous post if I try to mount the home directory via
mount -t ecryptfs (as root, by necessity) instead of via ecryptfs-mount-
private (as the original user).  Is the problem in the difference
between mount.ecryptfs and mount.ecryptfs_private?
