Why should it? Do you have full-fledged udev on initrd?
I've always created them by hand with mknod or just copied from a
working system - you know which ones you'll need, anyway.

And I've had segfaults with usb hdd too, as I recall, but if you put
cryptsetup in a 'while true' loop it'll prompt for passphrase / mount
device as soon as it'll be detected.
