This usually indicates that the loaded loop module is not from
loop-AES, but the standard loop.ko from the kernel. This could be
because loop was already loaded before loop-AES was installed, or
because of some bug - let's find out which.

If you do "rmmod loop; modprobe loop" and run the tests again, do
they still fail? Can you send the output of lsmod after the tests
have run? If the tests run OK after reloading the loop module, this
is probably no bug, but to make sure you could try to verify that
tests still run OK after reboot.

cheers,
Max
