No it should not. It is explained in API doc: http://wiki.cryptsetup.googlecode.com/git/API/libcryptsetup_8h.html#a99bc4160e7afacfba1d2c5ee6dbaf3be "In case device points to active LUKS device but header load fails, context device type is set to NULL and 0 is returned as if it were successful. Context with NULL device type can only be deactivated by crypt_deactivate" So the only think you can do here is deactivate device-mapper device (which explains why it is needed).
