One interesting thing I noticed with this: if I hit "Backspace" a few times before typing the password, it seems to work on the first attempt. For some reason, something seems to be polluting the input buffer during boot, which makes it behave as a wrong password on the first attempt. Not sure what that could be. Also, I still have no idea why it requires two subsequent attempts after that to decrypt, instead of the expected one.
