But you have not specified important info: cryptsetup version? cryptsetup with the --debug output? which distro? some erors in syslog? (io errors?) if it is broken now, also luksDump of the partition. cryptsetup should never touch original keyslot area, so even if adding new fails, the old must always stay the same.
