This may or may not be your issue.  So, just something to consider.

A few years ago I had the same problem not with encrypted partitions but with 
the
login at the GUI prompt (I was using KDM back then)  after boot.  I had to 
remember
to hit backspace a few times otherwise it would tell me the password was wrong. 
 I
have a wireless USB keyboard and it turned out to be the problem with the USB
receiver.  Replacing that fixed the issue.
