Actually PARTUUID should have read PARTTYPE-GUID - So there's no reason

Just imagine the network's linklayer had no idea which upper layer to
call, because there's no information on that. TCP/IP again does not have
that type of information.
So, what is it that I shouldn't (or won't in the future) be able to
do, because I'm used to being able to copy a LUKS container freely
among LVM logical volumes, physical partitions, and image files
using commands like "dd if=/dev/mapper/vg00-lv00 of=/var/tmp/xx.img"
and "dd if=/var/tmp/xx.img of=/dev/sdb2" and being able to luksOpen
the LV, partition, or loop device set up on the file.
Just what constitutes a "proper moving operation"? And just where
is this "PARTTYPE" stored? There doesn't appear to be any such
field in the current LUKS on-disk format.
