Hi Tom, Which version of Lubuntu are you trying to install? I have been testing the iso files prior to release, and Encrypted disk (with LVM) works for me according to this testcase (for the Lubuntu alternate installer)
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/347/builds/105064/testcases/1660/results If you want encrypted home, you should try the newest version 15.10. At least some older versions have problems due to problems with cryptswap. I think you are affected by that bug.
