Ok, I found there is some OEM BitLocker configuration that sounds like
it might be it:

"BitLocker automatic device encryption starts during Out-of-box (OOBE)
experience.
However, protection is enabled (armed) only after users sign in with a
Microsoft Account
 or an Azure Active Directory account. Until that, protection is
suspended and data is
not protected."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-bitlocker

I'll try to find more and try to figure out how OEM installation works
with Windows and see if we can add support for this case to
cryptsetup.
