@Jeroen: Thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by reporting this
issue!
@John: This bug report is of course not invalid!! The bug reporter
points out an Ubuntu inconsistency which ought to be fixed somehow. It's
not less of a bug because you can encrypt a home folder via the command
line.
OTOH, this bug is a duplicate, so marking it as such.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)

Title:
Not able to encrypt user's home folder when creating a new user
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
During Ubuntu installation a user is created and there is an option to
encrypt the home folder for this user. However, there is no such
option when creating other users in System Settings | User Accounts,
which might lead to the expectation that other accounts are also
created with an encrypted home folder. However that is not the case,
other users are created with ordinary home folders as I recently
discovered when booting Ubuntu from an USB stick. Also there is no
easy option to encrypt them. Please add the same option to the dialog
for creating other users.
Note: I considered this a security vulnerability, because the absence
of the option to encrypt home folders for creating other users might
lead to the assumption that these folders will be encrypted too.
Ubuntu 13.10 x64.
