Also seeing this, on a Dell Inspiron just upgraded to *F25* using dnf.
(I'm a trailing-edge leading-edge guy.) My LUKS partition is
lvm-managed and contains both root and home mounts, and I'm seeing two
requests for password. That might be a red herring, though.

I also found that hitting backspace a few times (though no characters
were showing in the password box) allowed me to log in successfully
the first time. Also, at least once I noticed the first character
didn't seem to display the password-mask dot, so perhaps the first
character is being "lost" and hitting backspace is waking something up
and giving focus to the dialog.
