I discovered that after repeated booting and choosing the recovery mode option, eventually it enables the recovery menu to work and allow me to continue to boot normally. This appears to coincide with when the disk-checker that kicks in periodically every x (10?) boots. So my temporary workaround is tedious: Boot and reset x times (each time typing in my crypt key when prompted) and eventually I get a user login prompt and can then use >sudo gdm start
