I used qemu-kvm. The disk partition was identified as a raid member and
bound to mdadm, the md array was identified as a luks member and bound
to dm-crypt. When trying to boot with one disk missing, the system
would not boot at all, which appears to be another bug ( mdadm won't
activate the array degraded ). I couldn't get dm-crypt to bypass mdadm
and decrypt the disk directly, and by all indications from SJR etc, this
should not be possible since blkid correctly identifies the disk as a
raid member, and cryptsetup is only called on things identified as a
luks member.

Can you reproduce this in virtualbox with 12.04?
