I did a fresh Karmic install 2 weeks ago, too, and I still got this bug.

I have two encrypted filesystem (/ and /home) which should be
automatically be mounted at boot time. When rebooting I got the splash
screen with the following displayed:

Unlocking the disk /dev/sda2 (cryptroot)
Enter passphrase:
cryptsetup: cryptroot setup successfully

This works as expected, but then it fails back to a console:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda1: clean, 171/66264 files, 49686/265040 blocks
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/mapper/cryptroot: 162901/985424 files, 1202649/3937556 blocks
 * Starting init crypto disks...
 * cryptroot (running)...
 * crypthome (starting)
Enter passphrase to unlock the disk /dev/sda4 (crypthome): One or more of the 
mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
(ESC for recovery shell)
/home: waiting for /dev/mapper/crypthome

I can't enter a password for my encrypted home directory (tested several
times), and there is no disk activity. I have to press ESC several times
to get to the recovery shell:

mountall: Cancelled
init: mountall main process (496) terminated with status 1
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell an re-try.
r...@laptop-anl:#:

Then I have to open the crypted home directory manually using
"cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 crypthome", which I have to type in
blindly because there is no echo on my console window. Then I get asked
for the passphrase, which I put in and after that I continue reboot with
"CONTROL-D".

The workaround from #2 (disabling splash at grub) works for me.

Mounting several enrcrypted filesystems with splash enabled worked
flawlessly in 9.04 and with a fresh install of Karmic, but stopped
working 3 or 4 days ago.

Installed filesets:
mountall 1.0
cryptsetup 1.0.6
