I dont believe we can fix this in an automatic way for the users. The best idea would be to document the dd command to clean the record and put it on the wiki and reference it in release notes.

There is not a reliable way to detect what type of filesystem is on it before cryptsetup 1.0.7, hence the reason for the breakage to begin with.
