I don't thinks this is src:cryptsetup's doing.  The source package ships
the cryptsetup(8) binary as well as libcryptsetup which can be used by
front-ends.  Both provide error handling, but if not using cryptsetup(8)
directly it's up to the front end to relay that information to the user.

What makes you think it's an issue with cryptsetup?  It's definitely not
it forcing a desktop relogin.  Running `cryptsetup luksOpen` from the
command line you should get a feedback that the passphrase is incorrect.
