Once you use luksFormat in that way, it seems to be the only way to use it in
luksOpen later is the "--key-file" (-d) option.

Stdin without using "-d -", as you later discovered, apparently treats the password differently; there's an extra hashing step before the key material is cropped to the size of the key.

Basically, be consistent in how you specify the key, because they each have different meanings.
