It's exactly just missing error message in cryptsetup-reencrypt as you pointed out. The reencryption stopped while creating header backups so no harm done (in my case). But let me think about it for some time yet.

Correct, the data was not currupted. So the LUKS1 to LUKS2 coversion works fine. Just cryptsetup-reencrypt does not.

A better error message is fine, but I would rather like to see a fix that makes cryptsetup-reencrypt work with non-default LUKS2 header sizes 

I guess you don't need any debug output anymore, since you can reproduce it on your own?
