I can confirm this bug. I have a crypted root-partition, where everything is fine (* for each key pressed, no clear text shown), but with my crypted data-raid- partition it's the same as mentioned above.
Since it's a data-partition and not needed for boot-up, I set noauto in fstab, took it out of crypttab, created a startscript 'init.d/cryptmount' and did a 'update-rc.d -f cryptmount defaults 99' with it. Voilá, didn't solve the problem but have a workaround, password is not shown anymore. Works for now.
