Well, no, not really.  To have run into the problem you did, you must have
devices configured in your /etc/crypttab that are being enabled at boot
time, but that are not used as the underlying devices for any core
filesystems, including /, /usr, /var, or /home (or even swap).  I think
that's quite an unusual setup.

To work around this issue, you can mark the filesystem that sits on the
encrypted volume as "bootwait" in your /etc/fstab, as documented in the
release notes:
<http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910#Login%20screen%20presented%20before%20optional%20filesystems%20are%20mounted>

We could do with an explicit comment there about the need for this with
cryptsetup.  Opening a task on ubuntu-release-notes for this.
