dm-crypt mailing is the best place for this report. This is IMHO kernel
problem (dm-crypt or cryptoAPI).

I would really appreciate that such bug reports are forwarded here,
(or in the case of kernel bug you can use bugzilla.kernel.org,
for cryptsetup issue page http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/list)

I never heard about this problem (otherwise it was already explained or
solved).

I'll run bisect on that to find where is the problem
(if reproducible on upstream gentoo-unpatched kernel).

Please can you check that there is no error message in syslog?
