Hello Jeroen, I think the answer you may be looking for is found here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder
Hope this helps. Meanwhile, I will set the bug report as invalid. I do
think, however, that the Ubuntu Documentation should include some
information on this matter.

Title:
Not able to encrypt user's home folder when creating a new user
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
During Ubuntu installation a user is created and there is an option to
encrypt the home folder for this user. However, there is no such
option when creating other users in System Settings | User Accounts,
which might lead to the expectation that other accounts are also
created with an encrypted home folder. However that is not the case,
other users are created with ordinary home folders as I recently
discovered when booting Ubuntu from an USB stick. Also there is no
easy option to encrypt them. Please add the same option to the dialog
for creating other users.
Note: I considered this a security vulnerability, because the absence
of the option to encrypt home folders for creating other users might
lead to the assumption that these folders will be encrypted too.
Ubuntu 13.10 x64.
