This is fixed in lucid, where cryptsetup uses /sbin/blkid instead of /lib/udev/vol_id. Because /sbin/blkid has been part of the base system since at least hardy, there is also no upgrade concern where the program will be missing. So the severity of this is greatly reduced for lucid; downgrading the importance.
