First, *please* do not truncate debug files... The first line should be the exact command executed.

I am little bit confused:

See:
> # Reading LUKS header of size 1024 from device /tmp/my_header_file
...
> LUKS header information for /tmp/my_header_file

but your provided command uses /dev/loop0. Something is missing there.

Did you use --header option?

Anyway, the whole problem is that for data device (/dev/loop0) system see 4060 sector size while
data offset is 4096 sectors, so it correctly prints info that device is too small.
(You can verify it with blockdev --getsz /dev/loop0.)
It looks like the loop0 is only file with header, not with the data.

There is no device size stored in LUKS header, it reads underlying device dynamically.
The only restriction is (as reported above) that device must be at least of size of "data payload offset"
(otherwise there is no space do user data).

So that said, you have loop mapped to some truncated file perhaps - this is the problem.

Milan
p.s.

the simpler way than EOF style should be is "echo $PASSWORD | cryptsetup luksOpen ..."
