As I understand it, this is intentional! I agree that in theory this aught to work, but mlocate would need to be completely redesigned to address the security issue. Note that 'ecryptfs' is in the 'PRUNEFS=' line of the default /etc/updatedb.conf file. I suppose you could edit this file to 'fix' this problem, but know that your encrypted metadata (file and directory names) will be readable by anyone who steals your computer. See:
