I had experienced almost the same thing, and trying it in QEMU I found
it was prompting for the password over the serial connection. Check
/proc/consoles to see if serial is the "preferred" console.

If so, adding "console=tty0" to the kernel cmdline (as the last console=
value) would fix that.
Also, IIRC installing plymouth works around that as it asks for the
password on all consoles (as opposed to initramfs-tools asking on only
the preferred one).
