This would have been in cryptsetup-2.7.0, so Fedora 40.
Upstream does note this backward incompatible change in the
2.7.0 release notes¹ and it doesn't seem like they made it
just to make it.  Sure, it's annoying when it happens and
catches one of us, but it is a necessary evil sometimes.

Relevant to the initial problem in this thread, does
anything in Fedora use cryptsetup plain mode by default?
Doesn't the installer use LUKS when encrypting a drive
(which isn't affected by this change) and lack support
encrypting /boot or /boot/efi?  I thought that was something
you could do, but you had to work it out on your own?
